 The attorney of the Federation and the Minister of Justice Abu Bakr Malami has agreed to appear before the House of Representatives Committee investigating the missing 48 million barrels of crude oil. The chairman of the committee, Makha Bilal, Labour Party Benway, on Thursday, announced that Mr Malami, who had ignored previous invitations, will appear before the committee on 27 April after the public holiday, and he said Mr Malami wrote a letter to the committee that he will cooperate with the panel and provide needed information on the ongoing investigation. Malami must provide comprehensive reports while acknowledging the receipt of the letter Mr Bilal says, and the AGF must provide a comprehensive report to support the work of the committee. He explains that the finance minister has continued to ignore the summon, but that the committee is still giving her the benefit of doubt. Thursday, so let's give him the window to appear before the committee. Unfortunately, the honorable minister of finance has still been evasive. The committee has not received any submission or response from the honorable minister of finance. The accountant general sent a response and has not responded to our follow up because we have asked further questions to what he provided us information about. And there are other entities we have scheduled. I believe the NMPCL should be appearing before us also next week, but want to call on the honorable minister of finance to, like their attorney general, show regard and respect for the separation of powers as enshrined in our constitution and respond promptly to the request of the committee so that we can get to the bottom of our investigation.
