Arising from the persistent failure, neglect, or outright refusal by several government-owned Enterprises and Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to honour invitations from the Senate in the discharge of its constitutional oversight duties, the Senate has resolved to apply sanctions on defaulters.
At plenary on Thursday, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance notified the Senate that the response to the committee's ongoing investigation into the financial operations of MDAs and GOEs is being undermined.
Senate emphasized that it is not a matter of choice. Agencies, as required by law, must comply with the Fiscal Responsibility Act with regard to internally generated revenue, collections from stamp duties, operating surplus, and statutory remittances into the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
The Senate has called on the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Head of the Civil Service, and ministers to ensure strict compliance by agencies under their supervision.
