The management of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) have been summoned by the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts to appear before it on Feb. 25, to give reasons for its unaudited accounts.
Chairman of the committee, Rep. Wole Oke, who made the announcement during an investigative public hearing into the presentation of audit reports, said the agency should state its failure to submit the audited accounts to the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation.
Oke said: “NIMASA has refused to cause appearance for six years and should appear unfailingly on Feb. 25, with the Minister of State for Transport and the Permanent Secretary.”
The lawmaker warned the agency’s management that the house would be forced to apply appropriate sanctions according to the law adding that the invitation would be the last.
