Acting Accountant General Under Fire Over Unremitted Charges by chimaroka60: 6:00pm On Oct 29, 2022

The Acting Accountant General of the Federation, Okolieboh Sylva has come under fire over alleged “unremitted” charges deducted from the Remitta payment platform into the Federation Account.

The Acting Accountant General came under scrutiny when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance to defend the budget of the office on Friday.

Unable to provide satisfactory answers to questions raised by lawmakers about the disbursements and utilization of the billions of Naira allegedly raised through the payment platform in the last 10 years, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Solomon Olamilakan(APC, Lagos West) ordered full-scale investigation to unravel the mystery surrounding the “unremitted” money.

The Acting Accountant General had explained that even though his office was in charge of the Remitta payment platform, the office did not receive any amount from the service charge which according to him was shared between the Central Bank of Nigeria, Commercial banks, and the service provider, REMITTA.


The explanation did not sit well with the Olamilakan-led Senate Committee which found it “strange” that the Office of the Accountant General received nothing from the billions of money deducted even though the platform belonged to it.
The Senate panel subsequently ordered a full probe into the matter and summoned the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), Godwin Emefiele, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation as well as the service provider, REMITTA to appear before it unfailingly on the 16th of November, 2022 to give explanations.

What a corrupt country!
Little wonder we are not making any form of progress.
Until we elect a government that has the moral right to fight corruption headlong,we shall continue remain stagnant in all spheres of life...

Seems some key positions are specifically reserved for the devil himself to keep repeatedly occupying in this country Nigeria.
