The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the House of Representatives has commenced a full scale probe into alleged mismanagement of COVID-19 intervention funds from 2020 to 2023.

Addressing the opening session, the Chairman of the Committee, Bamidele Salam (PDP-Osun) said: “The committee is probing over 60 MDAs over several billions of naira intervention funds allocated to them during the COVID-19 and we have given them enough time to prepare for this exercise. The committee will not entertain any extension of time from any of the MDAs. The committee is not after any individual or groups. We are going to be diligent in carrying out our assignment.”

He urged the Accountant General of the Federation whose office was very important to the assignment to make available relevant and competent personnel to the committee to facilitate the assignment.
