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 funds owed to the federal government through unremitted Operating Surplus and other revenues by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), and other government agencies.

The committee also requested explanations over the alleged withdrawal of N15 billion from the account of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), alongside similar deductions from the accounts of other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) by the OAGF.

The directives were issued on Monday during an investigative hearing of the committee, where the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Mr. Shamseldeen Babatunde Ogunjimi, appeared before lawmakers.
