The House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee investigating the activities surrounding the alleged establishment and operations of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), has expressed its disappointment in the failure of some Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to honour the Committee’s invitations.
This was as the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has dissociated itself from the controversial PFIPC, stating that it had never officially engaged with the organisation or its purported Director-General, Adeniyi Adeyemi, who security authorities reportedly confirmed was not known to the federal government.
The House Committee in a statement yesterday said it viewed the conduct as a serious affront to the constitutional oversight powers of the House of Representatives.
“It must be clearly understood that invitations issued by a duly constituted Committee of the House of Representatives are not matters of discretion.
