Good morning Nigeria, welcome to the Naija News roundup of top newspaper headlines in Nigeria for today, Saturday, 12th August 2023.
The House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating alleged employment racketeering and gross mismanagement of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System disclosed that no fewer than 35 ministries, departments and agencies, MDAs, of the Federal Government refused to submit themselves to probe.

If only Nigeria was a country that cares about probity and accountability, these MDAs accused of job racketeering would have jumped at the opportunity to clear themselves of any wrongdoing.
