The Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) was Thursday given a window of seven days by the House of Representatives Committee on Public Assets and Special Duties, to submit all relevant documents related to current Public-Private-Partnership (PPP).
The committee gave the order as it investigates the performance of PPP and concessions by federal government owned bodies.
Chairman of the committee, Hon. Ademorin Kuye, stated that the ultimatum became necessary following failure of the NRC to submit the documents as earlier requested.
He added that all documents on all agreements related to each asset of PPP and programmes, concessions, lease agreements with commencement date should be submitted.
“Failure to submit these documents and reports on or before December 11, 2024, would force the committee to invoke its constitutional powers against the NRC,” he said.
He said the committee is also interested in documents on the challenges, problems, constraints of mandate implementation and recommendations for improvement where applicable.
Acting managing director of NRC, Mr Benjamin Iloanusi, apologised to the committee for not submitting all the required documents earlier, blaming the development on miscommunication, as he also appealed for some time to enable the corporation submit the requested documents.
