The House of Representatives has summoned the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mele Kyari; and the
Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service, Hameed Ali, over audit queries issued by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation but which they failed to respond to.
Others are the Managing Director, Nigerian LNG Limited, Tony Attah; the Executive Secretary, Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, Abdulkadir Saidu; managements of SURE-P and Federal Account Allocation Committee; permanent secretaries of Federal Ministries of Finance, Solid Minerals and Steel Development and the Director-General, Mining Cadastral Office, Obadiah Nkom.
The Chairman of the committee, Wole Oke, issued the summons notice at an investigative hearing on the outstanding audit queries raised by the auditor-general, which several ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government had yet to respond to. Before then, Oke said, “Let me quickly recap our engagement with you ; we considered the Auditor-General of the Federation’s query on the accounts of your office and that of the Federation. That of the federal account, we have 2014 before us. Our record shows that some of the queries from 2007 to 2014 have not been answered.
