Keyamo’s apology to the senate
Keyamo stated, “I apologise to the Senate. I am sorry, I am sorry, and I am sorry.
” Regarding that program, the World Bank managed the account. As agency heads, we didn’t handle any money. We compiled the list, and funds were directly transferred to the beneficiaries’ accounts. “
“Every detail was documented and stored. All beneficiary records and data are with the ministry.”
Keyamo, nominated by President Bola Tinubu at the eleventh hour, appeared before the Senate on Monday for his ministerial nomination.
