They were sworn in on Wednesday during the Federal Executive Council meeting, which held inside the conference room in the office of the wife of the pPresident at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Buhari said he had earlier directed each of the ministries, departments and agencies of government to submit to him a detailed report of all recoveries up to March 2017.




     

     

    He said the committee’s primary assignment would be to audit all accounts in which the recovered assets were lodged, in order to ascertain the accuracy of the reports already submitted to him.

    Buhari urged all the affected MDAs, as well as financial institutions to cooperate with members of the committee so that they would be able to submit their report promptly.

    The committee has four weeks within which to complete the audit exercise and file its report to the President.

    Some of the ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) that have announced recovery of loot are the EFCC, office of the Attorney General of the Federation and the Ministry of Finance.
