Director General of National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, Mr. Mustapha Maihaja, has denied allegations by the House of Representatives committee that he mismanaged at least N33 billion which should have gone into catering for Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, and other emergency issues.

Maihaja, who spoke at a briefing in Abuja, said the House of Representatives shot itself in the foot by alleging the misappropriation of such fund when NEMA had never had such huge budgetary provision since he assumed office at the agency.

He also denied receiving N5.8 billion from the Federal Government, noting that NEMA only got about N800 million, while some other funds where paid to the contractors.
