The Senate is probing allegations that the Budget Office of the Federation advanced ₦28,880,533,107.00 in 2015 payments to MDAs without proper recovery, as highlighted in the 2016 AuGF report. The Committee on Public Accounts, headed by Senator Matthew Urhoghide, invited top BOF officials including the Director-General to explain the excess releases, but they failed to attend their meeting, hence, prompting further investigation.
