Speaking to Punch Newspapers, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Banking Insurance and Other Financial Institutions, Senator Rafiu Ibrahim said “The probe of the alleged fraudulent transactions involving the Treasury Single Account is very important to the Senate and the leadership is desirous of conducting a holistic investigation into it.
“The fact that the standing committees have not been inaugurated does not mean that the joint committees won’t submit their report on the investigation as directed by the Senate President.
“The committees already have chairmen and vice chairmen and they have already started preliminary actions with their clerks pending their inauguration, probably next week.”
