RE: Request for an Investigation into the Financial Activities of YYY

I hereby petition for an investigation into how the Chairman of YYY spent the Federal allocation for the month of December 2022.

The federal allocation for the aforementioned month was ₦100,000,000. The amount appears to have been spent on luxurious travel and other unrelated uses instead of community development.

I have enclosed receipts from the procurement unit.

Yours sincerely,
