After Edward Soje, a director in the Kogi State Civil Service Commission who was owed 11 months' salary, took his own life, Sunday Karimi (PDP, Kogi) moved a motion of urgent public importance. The House of Representatives mandated its Ad Hoc Committee on Bailout Funds to investigate unpaid salaries in Kogi State despite the bailout, Paris Club refund and statutory allocations the state received, and directed the CBN to explain how the salary bailout funds given to states were used.
