The Benue House of Assembly has drawn a line in the sand for the Commissioner of Works, Housing, and Urban Development. They have issued a stern warning that Mr. Tiza Imojime must appear before them or face potential removal from his position. The legislative body grew frustrated after the Commissioner failed to show up for questioning about a massive N69 billion road rehabilitation contract.
Lawmakers immediately noted the Commissioner's repeated absences. Every time he was summoned, he claimed illness prevented his attendance. The Assembly decided to give him one final chance to explain himself during the next legislative session. If he does not appear, they will move to recommend his dismissal and replace him with someone capable of fulfilling the governmental responsibilities.
In an additional development during the legislative session, led Speaker Rt. Hon. Hyacinth Dajoh, the Assembly aimed healthcare infrastructure oversight. They summoned the Executive Secretary of the State Primary Health Care Board to provide comprehensive details about World Bank-supported renovations of primary health centers. The mandate includes explaining the scope of support, detailing funds received, and reporting on which health centers have been or will be renovated.
The motion emerged after Rt. Hon.. Anthony Agom highlighted significant transparency concerns. He emphasized that without clear information about the health center renovation project, public trust could erode. The legislators worry citizens might be left without critical healthcare infrastructure improvements. They seek to ensure every aspect of the World Bank intervention is thoroughly examined and communicated, holding government agencies accountable for their commitments and spending.
