Senate raises alarm over N200trn â??Unaccounted Fundsâ?? in NNPC Coffers

The Senate Committee on Public Accounts has raised alarm over discrepancies involving trillions of naira in the audited financial statements of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), describing the revelations as mind-boggling and worrisome. During the investigative session on Wednesday, where the Chief Financial Officer, Dapo Segun, appeared before the committee, the absence of detailed records justifying massive legal and auditing fees was flagged, as well as contradictions in receivables reportedly worth over N210 trillion between 2017 and 2023. The committee, which is chaired by Senator Aliyu Wadada, saidLegal fees were accrued without any explanation or documentation regarding the legal services rendered. The auditors fees raise similar questions. There are no clear justifications. Everything weve seen and heard from the audited financial statements is troubling. Senator Wadada further stated that the main concern is with the receivables. Trillions of naira are in question, and the new document they presented this afternoon doesnt match whats already in their audited report. Its completely independent and contradictory, he said. The committee underscored that the concerns stem directly from the analysis of NNPCs audited financial statements spanning 2017 to 2023, not from speculation. The committee has now handed over a list of 11 queries to NNPCs finance team and given them one week to return with answers. Senator Wadada also warned that the matter would not be swept under the carpet, especially as the Tinubu administration, under its Renewed Hope agenda, seeks transparency and accountability in public finance. Watch a video from the public hearing below     View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial) The post Senate raises alarm over N200trn Unaccounted Funds in NNPC Coffers appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
