The House of Representatives has given the Minister of
Finance, Kemi Adeosun, 24 hours to appear before its committee on Public
Procurement.
The lower legislative chambers gave the directives over
alleged abuse and breach of the Procurement Act, 2001.
The committee also walked out on officials of the Finance
Ministry led by the Legal Director, Gabriel Christopher, on Monday, saying they
lacked the competence to speak on the matter.
The committee is saddled with the responsibility to
investigate ‘Allegations of Abuse, Breach, and Violations of Public Procurement
Act 2001 in the Engagements of Contractors for Pre- shipment, Inspection, and
Monitoring of Crude 0il and Gas Export from Nigeria.’
