| Ifie Sekibo. MD, Heritage Bank. |
The Management of Heritage Bank, Nigeria’s new generation bank and its
Managing Director, Mr. Ifie Sekibo have been summoned for the second time, by the
House of Representatives committee investigating the Treasury Single Account of
the Federal Government.
The Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Abubakar Danburam said that the
Adhoc Committee had invited Mr. Ifie Sekibo
and the management of Heritage Bank, together with Aso Savings to look into the
level of implementation and compliance by the banks over the Treasury Single
Account (TSA) policy of the government and these two failed to honour the
invitation of the committee.
According to him, “As you can see, none of their
management nor staff is here. Our independent investigations have revealed that
contrary to what Heritage Bank submitted to us, they also have two undisclosed
accounts in the TSA.”
“The
one with Nigerian Export and Import (NEXIM) Bank has $104 million, while a
second one with Nigerian Maritime Administration Safety Agency (NIMASA) has
$46,000, yet again, there is another N21 billion, which also forms part of our enquiry
and we want to know why they did not reveal those accounts to this Committee.”
“We hereby give the Managing Directors of Heritage Bank and
Aso Savings the opportunity to appear before this committee at a date to be
announced later. If they fail, we will then issue a warrant of arrest against
them.”
