Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation, has inaugurated an 11-man committee to investigate the allegation of financial misappropriation against Hadiza Bala-Usman, the suspended Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
Bala-Usman was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari last week, following allegation of non-remittance of N165 billion surplus revenue to the coffers of government.
However, she denied any wrongdoing, saying that all funds were adequately remitted to the appropriate government agency.
The 11-man committee is chaired by Suleiman Auwalu, Director Maritime Services, while Gabriel Fan, Deputy Director, Legal services, Federal Ministry of Transportation, will act as secretary.
