The committee in its recommendation has asked that the total sum be refunded to the federal government by the indicted companies which were also recommended for further investigation and prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The report further said that “The office of the Accountant General of the federation should account for N213.678b being total of excess payments made by it over and above what PPPRA identified as paid in 2009 and 2010.”
