Senate urges Tinubu to sack CAC Registrar General for financial infractions
By Hassan Taiye
The Senate has called on President Bola Tinubu to sack the Registrar General of Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Hussaini Magaji (SAN) for financial mismanagement and failure to honour Senate invitations for accountability.
The Senate Thursday invited the President’s economic team led by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Wale Edun discuss for interaction on the state of the nation’s economy and 2026 budget defence.
However, the chairman of the Senate Committee and Finance, Senator Sani Musa (Niger East) in his opening remarks wondered why the CAC Registrar General was absent when the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Bagudu, chairman Revenue Service, Zack Adedeji, Permanent Secretaries and other top government functionaries left whatever they were doing to honour Senate invitation.
The committee recalled that the Registrar had consistently disregarded Senate invitations to come and explain some financial infractions since 2023.
“We previously warned that we would issue a warrant of arrest regarding the Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission over issues of revenue and remittances. This is now the second occurrence”, chairman of the committee said.
“The Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission has repeatedly refused to honour invitations and summons from this important committee. The Committee on Finance is one of the key constitutional committees of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We have outstanding issues regarding reconciliation of revenue and remittances.
Yet, whenever he is invited, he provides excuses and sends subordinate officers to represent him before the Senate. This is unacceptable. Accordingly, the committee resolves to sustain the motion as amended”, which called on President Tinubu to remove him.
Musa said “We cannot continue like this. We have tried repeatedly to do this work. We have called on the Minister of Finance, who is also the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, to appear before us. Yet, since I joined this Senate, he has never appeared before this committee. Instead, we are told he is in the Villa, or that he has traveled to London, or elsewhere. Is that how we are expected to function?
“The National Assembly has a constitutional responsibility to carry out oversight of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). However, almost every time we invite an MDA, we are given excuses — that they are in the Villa or otherwise unavailable. Even Mr. President does not exempt any head of an MDA from appearing before the National Assembly when invited.
The motion to urge President Tinubu to sack the CAC Registrar was unanimously carried, while an amendment that said “Instead of asking for the termination of the appointment, a warrant of arrest should be issued to compel the individual to appear before this committee so that we may continue our work” failed.
