  "summary": "The House of Representatives has given the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) a seven-day ultimatum to appear before its Public Accounts Committee and answer questions over a ₦400 billion audit report concerning the management of funds for the Ogoni cleanup. This ultimatum follows HYPREP's failure to respond to previous invitations to address issues raised in the 2021 and 2024 audit reports by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation. The committee aims to determine how public funds were spent and gain explanations regarding the numerous queries contained in the reports.",
