PFIPC probe: Reps to quiz Accountant-General over N1.32bn budget today

The Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, is expected to appear before the House of Representatives ad hoc committee on Monday over the controversial budgetary allocation to the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), an agency the federal government has described as non-existent.

The committee is also expected to hear from the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume; Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu; Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele; and Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi.

The panel has already heard from the head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack; the director of banking services at the Central Bank of Nigeria, Abdullahi Hamisu; and the director-general of the Budget Office, Tanimu Yakubu, as it seeks to determine how the agency operated within government structures.
