The House of Representatives Committee on University Education has resolved to carry out a forensic investigation into the financial activities of the University of Calabar, Cross State, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurum, Delta State,
Federal University Uyo, Akwa Ibom State among others over the inconsistencies observed in their submissions during the committee’s oversight visit to the universities in the South-South Region.
The Chairman of the Committee, Abubakar Hassan Fulata made this known after the lawmakers visited the universities to ascertain their performance.
He said the forensic examination became necessary following discrepancies and irreconcilable data observed in the documents presented to the committee.
The committee tasked some of the universities newly established to avoid the mistakes of older universities in terms of noncompliance with federal character principles and spending internally generated revenue without appropriation.
