The Public Accounts Committee of the House of Representatives has threatened to issue arrest warrants against the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Engr. Dr. Sani Man Yahaya, and the institution’s Bursar, Aishat Shade Adebayo.
The committee said it will effect the action, if they fail to appear before it on Monday, October 19, 2026 over unresolved audit queries, alleged procurement irregularities and other financial management concerns as contained in the Auditor General of the Federation’s report against the institution.
Chairman of the Committee, Bamidele Salam, disclosed this on Friday as the Committee adopted the report of a technical committee that reviewed submissions made by six tertiary institutions in response to such audit queries.
The decision followed the examination of unresolved issues arising from the Federal Polytechnic, Ede’s 2021 Audit Report, findings recorded during the Committee’s South-West oversight exercise and a Petition received by the Committee.
The committee was displeased with the repeated failure of the Rector and Bursar to appear before it despite several invitations.
It warned that unless the Rector, Bursar and other concerned officials appear before it on Monday, October 19, 2026, it will invoke the relevant powers of the House to arrest them and compel their attendance.
The Committee headed by Bamidele Salam disclosed that a visit by its inspection team to the institution revealed very poor projects execution, with work done on not commensurate with the amounts already paid to contractors.
