Chairman Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, Patrick Ayo Akinyelure, said this on Thursday during the panel sitting in Abuja.
He said: “This is the third time the leadership of the commission has failed to honour invitation on the alleged N6.25billion COVID-19 palliatives scam.
“But unfortunately for them, as a committee of the Senate, we shall thoroughly investigate it whether they like it or not, since the petition on the fraud even came from a ranking officer from the Commission.
“Even as a senator from one of the affected states, I along with 26 others, did not see any palliatives being distributed by NDDC last year.
“Since Government is a continuum, the new management of the commission must appear before this Committee unfailingly on the 22nd of this month.”
