Reps query Accountant-General Office’s payment of N15bn to Remita

The House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee has queried the payment of N15 billion to Remita, a payment platform in the Office of the Accountant General for the Federation (OAGF).

The chairman of the committee, Bamidele Salam, who spoke at the resumed investigative hearing on revenue leakages on Thursday in Abuja, accused the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Commercial Banks of complicity in the sharing of N150 billion remittances.

He stressed that the payment of N15 billion to Remita from the OAGF from 2016 to 2018 was questionable.
