The House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating oil subsidy payments between 2013 and 2022 has summoned the Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed.
The committee invited Ahmed to appear before it with all records of subsidy payments the Federal Government made within the period under review.
Committee Chairman Ibrahim Aliyu issued the summons when the Director of Home Finance in the ministry appeared before the committee.
He said the minister should furnish the committee with details of all public funds used for subsidy payment, unfailingly on August 16, 2022.
Aliyu affirmed disappointment over the failure of Mrs. Ahmed and other government agencies invited to appear before the committee.
He further listed some of the agencies that failed to send communications to the committee as the Department of State Services (DSS), the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), among others.
The lawmaker also insisted that the investigation was not aimed at witch-hunting anybody.
