Ngige Threatens Legal Action Against Faleke Over NSITF Comments
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has threatened legal action against a member of the House of Representatives, James Faleke.
The minister had asked Mr Faleke to recuse himself from the hearing since he had already passed judgement on him through his statements on the floor of the House when the motion for the investigation was raised on July 7, 2020. James Faleke has argued that the Minister of Labour and Employment did not follow due process in suspending members of the NSITF BoardThe minister defended his decision to suspend the board, informing the committee that it was based on a report from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission which uncovered financial fraud in the NSITF.A lawmaker, Sada Soli, however, questioned the authenticity of the document of approval as claimed by the minister.
Meanwhile, a legal adviser in the OSGF, Emmanuel Akisa, confirmed that the letter from the minister requesting the suspension was received.
