The ad-hoc committee of the House investigating  unclaimed government funds also asked NEPZA to provide copies of validated receipts of financial transactions including it’s remittances to government

But the director of finance and administration, NEPZA, Oyesola Oyekunle at the hearing  insisted that the agency was not in any way indebted to the federal government as all revenues generated over time have been paid to government up to date.

Oyekunle, however, contradicted himself when he told the lawmakers that since NEPZA is not fully funded, it remits only 25 per cent  generated revenue to government and has paid N3.93 billion last to government, making it to be up to date in payment between the period under review which is the year 2000 to date.

According to the director, the agency operates under a circular issued by the ministry of finance and not stipulated extant financial laws as expected by the committee hence the remittance percentage to government

The lawmakers insisted that the N13.3 billion arrived at was calculated based on the 80 per cent  revenue remittance provisions to government as contained in the financial act and not based on the circular.

Consequently, the committee adjourned for a later date to enable NEPZA reconcile their audited documents with that of the committee’s consultants to come up with a common position so as to enable the agency clear off its outstanding debt.
