An ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives investigated the reversal of a ₦1.17 billion payment to the Sokoto Rima River Basin Development Authority. The committee said President Goodluck Jonathan approved the payment, which the then Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, conveyed to the Accountant-General, and that it was paid into the authority's account on March 9, 2015 but withdrawn in two tranches in May 2015. The CBN said it reversed the payment on the directive of the Office of the Accountant-General. The committee indicated it might summon Okonjo-Iweala.
