December 02, (THEWILL) – The House of Representatives has announced plans to investigate illegal recruitments, nominal roll padding and duplication of projects by ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government.

The House at plenary on Thursday, mandated its Committees on Anti-Corruption and Public Service to probe into the nominal rolls of the MDAs and report back within eight weeks for further legislative action.

The House will also set up an ad hoc committee on Tuesday to separately investigate project and budget duplication by the MDAs.

A member of the House, Dachung Bagos, had moved a motion titled ‘Call to Investigate the High Level of Corruption on Nominal Rolls of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the Country’, which the lawmakers unanimously adopted.

The motion came a day after Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Prof Bolaji Owasanoye (SAN), decried the rising cost of governance and rising personnel budget, blaming it on illegal recruitment and unilateral increase in wages and remuneration by some MDAs, including the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Productivity.
