"Notes that the COVID–19pandemic disrupted economic activities, leading toglobal measures such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, business closures, and government shutdowns to control the virus's spread. 


"Cognizant that the disruption of economic activities necessitated the introduction of various programs, 

policies, and interventions to alleviate and boost the economies of families, small businesses, and 

public corporations. 


According to him, the Auditor-General's report and other sources revealed that significant funds for COVID-19 palliatives and international donations were diverted and unaccounted for by various Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government. 


Zakari expressed concern that the lack of proper accountability of funds allocated for COVID19 intervention by the Federal Government and global donor agencies could potentially lead to negative economic ratings and loss of opportunities for Nigeria. 


The committee is to report back within 4 weeks for further legislative action.
