A disciplinary panel of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA)
has summoned Abdulmumin Jibrin, an executive director of the agency, over
alleged misconduct.
In a letter dated February 15 and addressed to Jibrin,
Zubairu Salihu, chairman of a disciplinary committee, said the former Kano
lawmaker is being summoned because he failed to respond to a query that was
earlier issued to him.
Jibrin was appointed executive director (business
development) of FHA in August 2020.
The appointment came after the court sacked him as a House
of Representatives member.
In the letter on Thursday, Salihu said the
former lawmaker is expected to appear before his panel on Friday at FHA’s
office in Abuja.
The chairman said the committee’s work will not be
invalidated if the former lawmaker does not show up to defend himself against
the allegations levelled against him.
The said misconduct was not mentioned in the letter but
Jibrin has been actively campaigning for Bola Tinubu, a presidential aspirant,
which is against public service rules.
“Please recall the query issued to you by the Managing
Director/CEO over allegations of serious misconduct in the course of your
official duties, and your deliberate refusal to respond to the query as
required by the Rules of Public Service as applicable to public officers,” he
said.
“In furtherance of the above the governing board at its 3rd
Regular meeting held on Tuesday 2nd February, 2022 had set up an
investigative/Disciplinary Panel to investigate all the alleged serious
misconducts leveled against you.
“On the specified date, the question of the disciplinary
action against you including termination or dismissal (if necessary) will be
brought forward and you are required to appear before the panel personally to
defend yourself.
“You are also entitled to call witnesses, if need be. Please
further note that your failure to appear will not invalidate the proceedings of
the Panel
“This invitation is
issued in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 8.2.0 of the Federal
Housing Authority Revised Condition of Service, 2008 and Section 030307 of the
Public Service Rules (2009).”
