The House of representatives
ad-hoc committee on Tuesday summoned former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo
Iweala, Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele and former
Accountant-General of the Federation, Jonah Otunla to appear next week Monday
to explain their involvement in the alleged misappropriation of the pension
funds.
The committee believed in its
wisdom that not only the fugitive Abdulrasheed Maina should be held accountable
but all those who participated in the then Presidential Task Force on Pension
Reform. And it was even alleged that about N2 billion naira was squandered by
the team.
This was predicated on the basic
idea that the team was constituted to track stolen public fund and should be regulated
by the principle of collective responsibility.
The investigation was meant to
cover the periods from 2010 to 2013 and activities of the other successor
agencies.
Chairman of the committee, Hon.
Anayo Nnebe said it would be unacceptable for the Pension Transitional
Arrangement Directorate, PTAD, to claim that there was no recoveries made in
the period under review and asked them to come with comprehensive reports of
recoveries so far made.
