By Gift Chapi Odekina
The House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has directed the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) to provide a comprehensive breakdown of outstanding operating surplus and other revenues allegedly owed to the Federal Government by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), and other government agencies.
The committee also demanded explanations over allegations that the OAGF withdrew billions of naira from the accounts of several Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), including the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), without timely refunds.
The directives were issued during an investigative hearing attended by the Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Babatunde Ogunjimi.
