The House of Representatives Committee on Public Account said it would commence considerations of queries raised on financial impropriety by the Auditor General for the Federation to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA) of government.
Rep Wole Oke, the chairman of the committee disclosed this on Friday in Abuja at its resumed hearing bordering on accountability by MDAs.
He said that the Auditor General for the Federation had laid his annual report part 1 in respect of 2018 financial year before the committee.
He added that the annual report came along with performance audit report on Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) on maintenance of federal roads.
He added that the Auditor General had also laid his performance Audit report on the budgeting process in Nigeria before the committee.
“So we now have these three documents in our kitty and we shall commence considerations of the queries on issues raised by inviting the relevant MDAs of government.
“This is including on-the-spot assessment/ inspection of the projects where the Auditor General has cast doubt or aspersions on, so that we can have value for money reports.”
Oke therefore called on the clerk to convey the queries on the issues raised to the affected MDAs and schedule a day for their appearances.
Oke said that the affected MDAs would begin appearance from Nov. 30 to answer to issues raised in the query by the Auditor General.
The Auditor General for the Federation had, according to a statement by the Ckerk to the National Assembly (CNA) Ojo Olatunde Amos, submitted to the National Assembly three reports for the information and consideration of the Public Accounts Committee.
