Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Senate on Thursday called on President Bola Tinubu to sack the Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, Hussaini Magaji, for repeatedly refusing to appear before the Senate Committee on Finance.<\/p>\n

The lawmakers made the call during the Ministry of Finance budget defence and interactive session with the economic team in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Senator Orji Kalu (Abia North) moved the motion for the registrar-general\u2019s summons and the call for termination of his appointment, while it was seconded by Senator Adams Oshiomhole (Edo North).<\/p>\n

Kalu said: \u201cSince I came to this Senate, he has consistently failed to appear before this committee when invited.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is fond of sending junior officers to represent him as if he is above the law. This can no longer continue,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Oshiomhole, while seconding the motion, stated that the National Assembly would not appropriate funds for the commission in the 2026 budget.<\/p>\n

The chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Sani Musa (Niger East), also said it was unacceptable for any head of an MDA to refuse to honour legislative summons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must address institutional responsibility. The Senate Committee on Finance exercises constitutional authority to oversee MDAs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is, therefore, unacceptable that some MDAs delay submissions, ignore legislative inquiries, or refuse to honour invitations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOversight is not an optional courtesy; it is a constitutional requirement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Musa warned that the committee would not hesitate to invoke its full constitutional powers to ensure compliance and accountability.<\/p>\n
