Lagos State House of Assembly on Tuesday gave the Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure, Kabiru Abdullahi, two days to appear before it.
The Assembly issued the order sequel to a motion moved by the Chairman, House Committee on Waterfront Infrastructure, Wahab Jomoh, at plenary.
Wahab described as unacceptable, the refusal by Abdullahi to honour the invitations extended to him by the committee.
Jimoh told his colleagues that the commissioner had always made the committee’s oversight functions difficult with his refusal to honour invitations and present needed documents.
He said: ”It will be noted that it is this house that approved his appointment but the commissioner has refused to submit the mid-year budget report for review and appraisal.
“Currently, the ministry has been invited but as I am talking, the commissioner has refused to honour the invitation.
“I want to suggest that my committee be made to carry out a comprehensive investigation.
“While the house should also place on hold, the confirmation of his appointment pending when the investigation is concluded.”
