The six Area Council Chairmen of the Federal Capital Territory have missed a scheduled appearance before the House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee to discuss alleged financial irregularities totaling around N100 billion. Initially, the chairmen had scheduled their appearance for September 22, 2026, but they either did not attend or sent representatives instead.
The Public Accounts Committee has now issued a final seven-day summons to the Directors of Personnel Management and Finance and Heads of Audit of the six councils, requesting their presence on October 14, 2026, or face sanctions in accordance with service rules. These audit issues are highlighted in the Auditor-General's Annual Report for the Six FCT Area Councils from the financial year ended December 31, 2021.
