210 Trillion NNPCL Probe: Ex-CFO Dismisses Senate Inquiry as “Wild Goose Chase” Against Kyari, Others
Proceedings at the Senate Committee on Public Accounts' investigation into the alleged N210 trillion unaccounted funds in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) turned tense on Wednesday as the company's former Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Umar Ajiya, accused lawmakers of pursuing what he described as a "wild goose chase" in their probe of the former management led by Mele Kyari.
The committee, chaired by Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo, resumed its examination of figures contained in NNPCL's audited financial statements covering the period from 2017 to 2023.
Lawmakers have maintained that a total of N210 trillion captured in the company's accounts remains inadequately explained. The amount comprises N103 trillion recorded as accrued expenses and N107 trillion classified as receivables.
The Senate panel had initially directed a series of questions to the current NNPCL management headed by Group Chief Executive Officer, Bayo Ojulari, before extending its inquiry to former senior officials involved in the preparation and management of the accounts under review.
Appearing before the committee, Ajiya challenged the basis of some of the allegations, arguing that the Senate had been misinformed and that the investigation was founded innacurate by the company,'s book
Sections 63, 138 of Electoral Act Dangerous Will Sabotage Voting at Polling Level - Igini
Section 63 of the 2026 Electoral Act has reintroduced something very dangerous: a ballot paper used for the 2027 election that does not bear INEC’s official manufacturer and security features may be accepted by the presiding officer. By implication, the presiding officer has been given the discretion to accept ballot papers notwithstanding the absence of the official mark, and to count such ballot papers. What that means is that politicians who have access to INEC’s serial and security features could produce their own ballot papers.
