The House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts, chaired by Oluwole Oke, initiated a comprehensive investigation into the Federal Ministry of Water Resources regarding the expenditure of ₦343 million on "unexplained projects." Triggered by an audit query from the Auditor-General of the Federation, the probe examined the Ministry's refusal to present vouchers for the spending and scrutinized irregularities in the Ibusa Earth Dam project in Delta State, where contractors were allegedly forced to secure bank facilities due to poor funding.
