What happened
The House of Representatives began an investigation into funds borrowed from the Universal Basic Education Commission, which reportedly totals N75bn. The committee summoned the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, and the Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, to appear before it on October 22 to provide a repayment schedule. The committee stated that public funds cannot be taken from one government institution to meet the financial obligations of another without clear terms and conditions.

Why it matters
The investigation centers on the lack of clear repayment arrangements for government-to-government borrowing. The committee insists that a specific repayment date must be committed to, stressing the need for financial accountability regarding the use of public funds.
