The House of Representatives Committee on FCT Area Councils and Auxiliary Matters has summoned the Minister of State for FCT, Dr Mariya Bunkure, to appear before it on Tuesday May 27, 2025.
The Minister of State for FCT was summoned for allegedly failing to honour invitation by the committee session on FCT budget.
It was said that out of the 14 agencies under her supervision , only three honoured the invitation.
The committee chairman, Rep. Fredrick Agbedi, handed down the summon in Abuja Monday.
Agbedi, who decried the absence of the minister, warned that the parliament would invoke its parliamentary powers against the minister if she failed to appear Tuesday.
He recalled that President Tinubu had asked them to expedite action on the budget.
The lawmaker expressed worry over the negligence of the minister to an all important budget.
He said the minister was duly invited earlier together with the agency under her jurisdiction.
Agbedi reminded the minister that the parliament and indeed the committee represented the indigenes and resident of the FCT.
