.Cenbank Governor Emefiele Shuns Panel Investigating Nigeria's Abandoned Projects | Sahara Reporters The panel threatened to order their arrest if they failed to honour the invitations. READ MORE:
Godwin Emefiele, the Central Bank of Nigeria's governor, and the acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Nelson Braimbraifa, as well as his directors were absent as the House of Representatives began probe of abandoned projects in Niger Delta in Abuja on Tuesday.
Yusuf cited Section 89 of the Constitution, saying, “I have observed that the very relevant stakeholders that are supposed to be here for the success of this public hearing are not here. The NDDC is a major stakeholder in this investigation and I am sure we have written to them twice and there was no response.
The chairman of the panel, Nicholas Ossai said their first letter was received by the NDDC on August 14, with a reminder sent on August 23 when there was no response from the commission to the first letter. However, the chairman said, “You will recall that recently the ministers gave instructions to the NDDC on a national daily. So, I find it very difficult to believe that they have not been interacting with the commission. It is strange for such a letter to have come.
