Senate asks SGF, HOS to ensure MDAs honour lawmakers’ invitations
The Senate on Thursday directed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (HoS), Esther Walson-Jack, to ensure that ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) that have refused to appear before National Assembly committees honour lawmakers’ invitations.
He thereafter directed the Clerk to the National Assembly to communicate the resolution to all MDAs, government-owned enterprises (GOEs), the SGF, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and other relevant authorities for immediate compliance.
The resolution followed a motion sponsored by Sani Musa (APC, Niger East), who complained that the heads of several agencies had consistently ignored invitations from the Senate Committee on Finance, which he chairs.
