 The House of Representatives ad hoc committee on filled mass transit schemes across the country have summoned the ministries of finance, the ministers of finance trade and investment, the accountant general of the federation, head of service and other stakeholders to appear before the investigative committee on Monday, the 11th of September. Chairman of the ad hoc committee, Honourable Afam Oganeh, made the ruling on Wednesday in Abuja during resumption of hearing, but observed that these key ministries and agencies failed to appear despite receiving notice from the clerk of the committee one week to the takeoff. He threatened to invoke sections of the constitution and the act of parliament that gives the House the powers to invite any Nigerian or individual domicile in the country and doing business within. The Honourable Minister of Finance, the acting accountant general of the federation, the head of service of the federation, the Honourable Minister of Trade, Industry and Investment that appear unfailingly on Tuesday, September 10, 2023 at 11 a.m. Additionally, the clerk of this Honourable Committee is to invite the managing director of the infrastructure bank to appear on same day, same time to come with him at the following, the national association of road transport owners and the road transport employers of Nigeria. They are all summoned to appear before this committee. Earlier members of the committee interfaced with the Abuja Investments Company Limited and the National Union of Road Transport Workers on ways to improve mass transportation in the country. Now the ACL is also intervening in reaching out to the private sector and have identified several private sector companies to come and intervene in various sectors of the transport. However, one of the challenges that we are facing is there are no clear legal and regulatory framework for the urban mass transportation in the FCT. So that has actually made the private sector to be a little bit wary of intervention. But efforts are still ongoing. AISL in a bit to intervene has also commissioned transaction advisors to even advise on. We are not here to wish hunt anybody. But we want to get to the root of why it failed and because it has to be our business. Absolutely. Because if you are telling me that you are shareholding and you have a stake in Abuja urban mass transit, you should be able to know what is going on there. In 2013, 100 units of Yuntan buses were acquired and it was financed through Abuja mass transit. We are interested to know what happened to those buses. How much was generated? What is the loss and how many buses are still in this exchange? So we provide this information when necessary. If the shareman allows that. Forget about these other things which are observed as challenges and you are way forward. Is there a new report? I mean perhaps the 200 were given to you, Abuja urban, UN, UTR, SONIC. Were you able to actually retrieve any of those buses from this company when they left operation? Don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates.
