The House Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Councils and Ancillary Matters is set to launch an investigation into the failure by the six area councils to remit their pension contribution  to the Area Council Staff Pension Board.

The resolution followed the adoption of a motion when the Director of the Board, Suleman Abdulrahman who appeared before the Committee had disclosed that the remittances were not frequent.

It was a meeting between the Committee and agencies within its purview to defend their 2024 budget performance ahead of their 2025 estimates.

The Legislative Panel Chaired by Rep. Fred Agbedi however directed the Clerk to write to all the area councils to avail the committee with up-to-date remittances of pension contributions on behalf of their employees.
