Reps Urges Fire Service to Remit N1.48bn within 7 Days
The House of Representatives Public Account Committee (PAC) on Wednesday instructed the Federal Fire Service to remit the sum of N1.4 billion released to the agency for COVID-19 intervention funds which it failed to account for back to the Federal Government within seven days. This directive was issued by the Chairperson of PAC, Hon. Bamidele Salam, after the failure of the service to honor the invitation to explain the expenditure of the fund. It was revealed that the Federal Fire Service was invited to appear before the committee but the agency never honored the invitation and did not send any letter to the committee on why it failed to respond to the invitations.
