Use of ₦25 billion by the National Commission for Refugees

The House Committee on Public Accounts, chaired by Wole Oke, is probing the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCRMIDP) over its utilization of ₦25 billion appropriated between 2015 and 2019. The Committee identified irregularities in the Commission's documents detailing expenditure from a total appropriation of ₦28.959 billion. Officials questioned include the Director, Finance and Accounts (DFA) and the Head of Planning, Research, and Documentation, Mrs. Ama Edet, who denied knowledge of the funds. The Committee rejected the presentation as inaccurate and gave the NCRMIDP a one-week ultimatum to correct it.
