The House had mandated its committee to investigate refusal of Non-Treasury Funded and Partially Funded Agencies to render their Audited Accounts covering the period 2014-2018 to the Auditor-General of the Federation

Gonto had earlier denied claims by the Auditor General that the FHA did not submit audited account but backed down when the Committee compelled him to show proof that the Agency submitted its up to date audited accounts to the Auditor General of the Federation.

The Chairman of the Committee had read the query by the Auditor General of the Federation that the Agency last submitted its audited accounts in 2003 and urged the FHA boss to react.

Gonto claimed that he was new as MD in the office and that the Agency was not a revenue generating one, adding that available records showed that proper audited accounts were submitted as required.

When the Committee asked him how long he had been working with the Agency before his appointment as the Managing Director, he said he had worked with the FHA for about 30 years before his present appointment.

The Committee, however, stepped down the Agency’s matter and ordered for status enquiry to its activities immediately. (The Nation)
