Abuja, (Core Reporters) Following accusation and counter accusations of corruption among members of the ad-hoc Joint Downstream and Midstream Committee, the Leadership of the House of Representatives has resolved to dissolve and reconstitute the committee.
Initially tasked with investigating the importation of adulterated petroleum products, the non-availability of crude oil for domestic refineries, and other critical energy security issues, this committee will be succeeded by a newly constituted ad-hoc committee with the same mandate.
To ensure the efficacy and independence of this investigation, the new committee will consist of honourable members selected for their expertise, competence, and integrity.
The House remains committed to addressing these vital issues and ensuring thorough oversight. Further details on the new committee’s operations will be provided in due course.
