Edo State House of Assembly ad-hoc committees set up to investigate funding and ownership of the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA) and the Radisson Blu Hotel have recommended that Governor Monday Okpebholo to take possession of both investments.

This was contained in the report the Committee submitted.

Former Governor Godwin Obaseki, management of MOWAA and other invited persons refused to appear before the Committee.

Lawyer to MOWAA, Barr. Olayiwola Afolabi, said his client would not appear before the Committee because the matter was already in court.

He said any recommendation by the Committee would be subjected to the court.

In its report, the Committee said it found out that the land titles and funding for the two projects were from the Edo State Government. (The Nation)
