Besides the speaker, it was gathered that the Clerk of the Assembly, Mr Bode Adeyelu, and the Deputy Clerk, Mr Amos Olowogorioye, and the Chairman, House Committee on Tertiary Education,
The source said, “A document in the Assembly shows that the seminar was aimed at institutional productivity, consciousness and excellence in service among workers and organisations in both public and private sectors, to accord workers and organisations the platform in achieving high productivity as well as giving impetus to the seminar in charting the pathway in revitalising the educational sector.
“However, it was discovered that there was no such seminar organised, thereby the money released by the state Ministry of Finance amounting to N2.4m went to the private pockets.”
However, the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Mr Gbenga Omole, denied the invitation, saying nobody was arrested or invited by the EFCC.
“As far as I know it is not true that the speaker was invited by the EFCC.”
