Sharing is caring

Former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management Sadiya Umar Farouq has expressed her happiness at serving as minister of the Federal Republic

Speaking when she arrived the office of the EFCC on Monday, she said she is ready to defend her actions, stewardship and programmes during her tenure as minister.

Mrs Umar-Farouq arrived at the headquarters of the EFCC to honour the invitation by the anti-graft agency to offer clarifications in respect of some issues that the Commission is investigating.

The former minister had earlier indicated her readiness to honour the Commission’s invitation.

The former Minister had earlier failed to honour the invitation of the anti-graft agency on the alleged laundering of N37.1 billion during her tenure.

She, however, wrote a letter to apologise to the Commission over her failure to honour their invitation.

The spokesman of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, had told journalists that the former minister wrote to the anti-graft, explaining that she is not disposed to appear before the commission.
