Reps Summon Wanted Maina Over His Illegal Promotion, Reinstatement
Fugitive former chairman of the Presidential Task Team on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina, will next week appear before the ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives panel investigating his controversial readmission into the federal civil service.
Maina is still on the wanted list of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the security agencies claim that he has not been seen in public.
A member of the Hon. Aliyu Madaki-led ad hoc committee confirmed to LEADERSHIP that Maina may at the long run appear before the committee next week.
The lawmaker also confirmed that Maina’s lawyer, Muhammad Sani Katu, of the Justice Mamman Nasir Chamber, had reportedly made some initial representation to the committee, ahead of Maina’s expected appearance next week.
