‘Refusal to honour summons’: Senate panel asks Tinubu to remove CAC registrar-general

Senate

The senate committee on finance has asked President Bola Tinubu to remove Hussaini Magaji, registrar-general of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), over his alleged refusal to honour invitations from lawmakers.

The resolution followed deliberations by the committee during a budget defence session on Thursday.

Orji Kalu, Abia north senator, moved the motion for Magai’s arrest, and said failure to comply with legislative oversight undermines accountability and the authority of the national assembly.
