A statement by the group’s Chairman, Alhaji Toyin Raheem, expressed worry that Ms Abba Kyari’s appointment is considered controversial because it “violates set procedure at the NSIA, which is the legally constituted agency that manages Nigeria’s excess crude oil revenues”.
The statement went on: “Equally disturbing is the revelation that the new employee is starting up with an annual package of N32 million. We have chosen to call for a thorough investigation of this case because a similar thing happened in Pension Commission recently and, at the end of the probe, those involved were relieved of their jobs.
“We are by this statement giving the Presidency notice that we shall commence series of lawful civil actions in a matter of days to compel the Buhari administration to order a comprehensive investigation of this employment issue.”
