House of Representatives committee investigating non-remittance of funds to the National Housing Fund and non-utilization of the funds has summoned Accountant General of the Federation to appear before it, to explain why money deducted from workers’ salaries was not remitted.
Representative of the Director, Integrated Personnel Payroll and Information System , Ekwem Dem, told the committee that while deduction from salaries of workers was automatic, remittance was not automated.

A member of the committee, Timehin Adelegbe, said: “If the deduction is automated, the remittance should also be automated.”
