The Senate has reconstituted its adhoc committee to Investigate the alleged economic Sabotage in the nation’s petroleum industry.
The Senate, presided over by the Deputy President, Senator Barau Jibrin, announced these decisions during plenary after the Leader of the Senate/Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, sponsored a motion on the need for the two chambers to jointly conduct the oil probe.
In his motion, the senate leader observed that the House of Representatives had debated on the same subject and also constituted its ad-hoc committee to investigate it.
He observed that there “is a need for the ad-hoc committees of the two chambers to work together to avoid duplication in the discharge of their constitutional responsibilities.”
He further called for the committee to be reconstituted and captioned as “National Assembly Joint Ad-hoc Committee to Investigate Alleged Economic Sabotage in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry,” which was adopted by the upper chamber.
The upper chamber also resolved “to communicate its decision to the House of Representatives to constitute the equal number of an ad-hoc committee that will be working with the Senate.”
