Reps summon Ehanire, three others over agencies’ accounts
THE House of Representatives has summoned four ministers to appear before its House Committee on Public Account.
The agencies are to reappear before the House committee with their immediate past management teams, the annual budgets and their audited accounts covering the period under investigation. Ms Saraki is to appear alongside the Permanent Secretary in the ministry over the alleged refusal of the Director General of the Nigeria Maritime and Safety Administration to appear before the committee to explain why it failed to submit the audited reports since 2014 to the Auditor-General.
Oke frowned at the refusal of the agencies to abide by the provisions of the law, saying it was not acceptable that for eight years, the NIIA failed to submit its audited accounts, as required by law. He said since the board was yet to be constituted, all the audited reports were submitted to the minister for approval.
Its Director-General, Yewande Sadiku, told the committee that when she assumed office in 2016, she discovered that the agency’s books had not been audited since 2013 and immediately set in motion machineries to carry out the audit which she said took a while to complete.
