The Senate has launched an investigation into the financial records of 774 federal agencies in response to questions brought against them in the Auditor General’s 2019 report for the Federation.
The Chairman of the Senate Public Accounts Committee (SPAC), Senator Aliyu Wadada, who represents Nasarawa West on the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), announced this in Keffi, Nasarawa State, while addressing with journalists on Friday.
He stated that his committee was not out to witch-hunt anyone, but that members of the panel will carry out their duties carefully and in the best interests of the country.
Wadada also stated that the 10th National Assembly, with the backing of President Bola Tinubu and key players in the nation’s economy, will soon begin amending the 2007 Procurement Act to prevent financial breaches from occurring.
