The three-man Vice President Yemi Osinbajo-led Presidential Investigative Committee to inquire into the discovery of foreign and local currencies by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos will submit its reports to President Muhammadu Buhari next week Monday.

The Presidency said the panel, which is also probing the allegations of due process violations in the award of contracts under the Presidential Initiative on the North East (PINE) is expected to complete its assignment today before the scheduled presentation to the President.

A statement by Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, made available to newsmen did not explain the reason for the change of date for the submission of the committee’s report.

A member of the panel and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami had on Tuesday briefed State House Correspondents where he gave indication that Vice President Osinbajo would submit the document to President Buhari on behalf of the committee on Wednesday.
