The House of Representatives has scrutinized the Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, over unrelated expenditures, including a New Year party worth N45m, sanitary pads costing N20m, and vehicle fuel amounting to N1.5m.

The interrogation, led by Rep Kafilat Ogbara, Chairman of the House Committee on Women Affairs, aimed to uncover the truth behind the expenditures and alleged diversion of funds meant for contractor payments.

The committee investigated the minister and ministry officials following a petition from contractors, seeking clarification on funds appropriated for the African First Lady’s mission and the whereabouts of the N1.5bn meant for contractor payments.

The minister denied allegations of misappropriation, overspending, and non-payment to contractors.
