The House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee is set to interrogate Aderemi Matthew Adeyemi, the Director-General of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), regarding allegations of corruption involving a N400 million contract. Businessman Gbenga Collins testified that he paid this sum for a contract to renovate the agency's official residence. Committee Chairman Yusuf Gagdi emphasized the importance of respecting the constitutional principle of separation of powers and confirmed that the interrogation will take place at an undisclosed location to avoid compromising ongoing investigations by the ICPC and EFCC. Gagdi assured that the committee's priority is to clarify matters with Adeyemi rather than insisting on a public appearance. The committee will continue its public hearings, aiming to conclude outstanding issues in the investigation.
