There was tension in the Green
Chambers of the House of Representative Monday as the Ad Hoc Committee
investigating Non-Remittance and Mismanagement of non oil Revenue, led by Hon
Chike Okafor during its public hearing session at the National Assembly
complex, walked out the team of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) led
by the Executive Director Finance, Dr. Itotenaan Henry Ogiri and the team of
Nigerian Communications Commission, (NCC) led by the Executive Director Public
affairs.
Trouble started when the Ad hoc
committee Chairman insisted that the chief executives of these agencies must
appear before the House Committee in person in the next scheduled hearing
session.
Hon. Chike Okafor insisted the house
would want to deal with only the heads of the MDAs who are expected to
answer questions on none remittance of taxes/revenue to the federation Account.
It would be recalled that the Speaker
of the House of Representative, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara had set up a committee
specifically to investigate allegations of non-remittance or mismanagement of
government taxes/revenues.
This of course is in line with the
promise of the principal officers of the National Assembly to assist the
President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government in its effort to recover all
loots and non-remittances to the federation account.
