The House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee has threatened to issue arrest warrants for the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, and the institution's Bursar if they do not attend a hearing on Monday, October 19, 2026. The Committee is seeking information regarding outstanding audit queries, procurement irregularities, and financial management concerns.
The Committee's Chairman, Hon. Bamidele Salam, revealed this during the adoption of the panel's report. The Committee's review of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede's 2021 Audit Report and findings from its oversight exercise in the South-West geopolitical zone led to the decision. They expressed dissatisfaction with the repeated failure of the Rector and Bursar to appear before the Committee, describing their absence as worrisome.
The Committee plans to use its constitutional and legislative powers to secure their arrest and compel their appearance if they do not comply. The Committee also highlighted issues such as poor project execution, financial misconduct allegations, late submission of audited financial statements, and non-compliance with pension fund remittances.
