Nigeria
has hired PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and KPMG to audit the accounts of all
federal revenue-generating agencies between 2012 and 2015.
The
presidential committee looking into the excess crude account (ECA) said on
Thursday there was a need to go beyond just probing the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The
National Economic Council (NEC) had set up a committee, made up of the
governors of Edo, Akwa Ibom, Gombe, Lagos and Kaduna states to screen the books
of NNPC on its remittances to the federation account.
At
Thursday’s meeting in Abuja, the committee extended the probe to other revenue
generating agencies. They have been invited to answer questions on their
expenditures.
The
Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Federal Inland Revenue
Service (FIRS), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nigeria Customs
Service, the ministry of finance and the office of the accountant-general of
the federation have all appeared before the panel.
Adams
Oshiomhole, governor of Edo state, told the media that it would no longer be
“business as usual”.
“The
probe will now cover value for expense as the affected agencies will be made to
account for things expended on at their correct value,” he said.
