The Senate Public Accounts Committee, chaired by Senator Matthew Urhoghide, opened an investigation into the Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron, after the Auditor-General's 2018 report queried ₦457 million released to the academy in December 2012 and diverted into a private account, and a further ₦608 million withdrawn by its management.
