The House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has directed the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) to submit comprehensive records of outstanding revenues allegedly owed to the federal government by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and other revenue-generating agencies.
The committee also demanded explanations over allegations that the OAGF withdrew billions of naira from the accounts of several government agencies, including the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), without promptly refunding the funds.
The directives were issued on Monday during an investigative hearing attended by the Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi.
