The House of Representatives has called on the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) to explain why it allegedly failed to act on an earlier alert concerning the Presidential Fiscal and Infrastructure Planning Committee (PFIPC), as lawmakers intensified their oversight of issues relating to transparency, accountability, and national governance. During a legislative session, members of the House expressed concern over reports suggesting that warnings linked to the committee may not have received prompt attention, emphasizing the need for government institutions to respond swiftly to intelligence and official notifications. Lawmakers said the explanation being sought is part of their constitutional responsibility to ensure that public agencies discharge their duties effectively and in accordance with established laws and procedures. They stressed that timely action on credible alerts is essential to safeguarding public resources, maintaining confidence in government institutions, and preventing administrative lapses that could undermine national development efforts. The House also reiterated its commitment to conducting a fair and thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the matter, assuring Nigerians that the investigation would be transparent and free from political bias. Members noted that accountability remains a cornerstone of democratic governance and urged all relevant agencies to cooperate fully with ongoing legislative inquiries. They added that the outcome of the investigation could help strengthen institutional coordination and improve mechanisms for responding to official reports in the future. The lawmakers reaffirmed their determination to uphold oversight responsibilities while encouraging greater collaboration among security agencies, government institutions, and relevant stakeholders to promote effective governance, protect public trust, and ensure that all public offices remain accountable to the Nigerian people.
