On a motion by Daniel Ogazi, the Nasarawa State House of Assembly set up a six-member ad hoc committee, chaired by Abdullahi Angibi, to monitor the state task force on COVID-19, chaired by the Deputy Governor, Emmanuel Akabe, which said it had spent about ₦536 million on the pandemic. The Assembly denied press reports that it was probing the deputy governor. In December 2020 the committee summoned Akabe and the state Auditor-General, Riyanu Lamus, to explain the spending.
