The Senate on Tuesday gave the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy a 48-hour ultimatum to account for the N13.9 billion received from service-wide votes from 2017 to 2021.
The Senate Committee on Public Accounts issued an ultimatum to the ministry’s permanent secretary, William Alo, after he failed to provide documentation on how the money was spent by the ministry during the time period under consideration.
The chairman of the committee, Mathew Urhoghide, and other members had during the meeting questioned the permanent secretary on how the funds generated from the service-wide votes were spent.
