The
House of Representatives is to probe the federal government's bail-out
funds given to states with a view to ascertaining its propriety.
The House said it
would constitute an ad-hoc committee to investigate the terms and
conditions for the disbursement and utilization of the funds, the level
of compliance and determine the necessity of further disbursement as
being muted by the government. The committee is expected to report back
in four weeks.
Adopting a motion
by Rep Sunday Karimi (PDP, Kogi), the House said with the downward trend
in the revenue generation by the country in 2015, majority of the
states could not meet their financial obligations, especially to their
employees.
