Responding to a directive from the Senate Committee, which called for the NPA’s Managing Director, Mohammed Bello-Koko, and other management staff to appear within 48 hours, the NPA presented its case. Bello-Koko explained that the mentioned sums were the total of unremitted funds accumulated from private port operators who were part of a concession agreement initiated in 2006.JAMB Result
He further clarified that the root of this issue lies in the faulty concession agreements signed with these private operators by the Federal Government in 2006. According to Bello-Koko, these agreements are largely responsible for the current situation where the NPA is held accountable for the unremittances.NYSC Portal
