Senate Votes to Issue ‘Dead or Alive’ Warrant for Ex-NNPCL Boss Mele Kyari

Senate Votes to Issue ‘Dead or Alive’ Warrant for Ex-NNPCL Boss Mele Kyari

The Senate Committee on Public Accounts has approved a warrant to compel former NNPCL Group CEO Mele Kyari to appear over unresolved N210 trillion audit queries from 2017 to 2023. Kyari skipped nine consecutive invitations, prompting Senators Victor Umeh and Adams Oshiomhole to back a binding motion after all reasonable efforts failed. Despite assurances from Senator Tony Nwoye that Kyari is receiving medical treatment in Germany, the committee proceeded and heard testimony from former NNPCL executives. The panel reaffirms its duty to ensure full transparency in public fund management. (Source: national broadcaster)

It's surprising that audit queries totaling N210 trillion remained unresolved for six years without any real consequence until now.

A clear schedule for audit hearings and mandatory progress reports could prevent such prolonged delays and improve institutional accountability.
