The House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee, on Tuesday, summoned the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Olayemi Cardoso, to unfailingly appear before it on March 5, 2024 over issues relating to alleged leakages with the e-payment solution platform, REMITA.
The Reps fumed that Cardoso’s failure to appear before the committee during previous sittings “has greatly stalled this committee’s investigative process on revenue leakages through the REMITA platform.”

“The Public Accounts Committee has the power to summon any person in Nigeria to give evidence, produce any document in his possession and under his control.
“Failure to comply with this civil invitation may leave the committee no choice but to issue a warrant of arrest against you in line with Legislative Houses (Powers & Privileges Act 2017) (Sections 2 & 3) and the 1999 CFRN (as amended) in line with House Procedures.
