The Senate has pledged to uncover petroleum industry spies and individuals in charge of bringing hazardous gasoline into the nation.
At a news conference held in Abuja on Thursday, the “Senate Ad-Hoc Committee to Investigate the Alleged Economic Sabotage in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry” declared as much.
At the news conference, the majority leader of the Senate and the chairman of the Ad-Hoc Committee, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, read the text while the other panel members stood by.
Bamidele said, “We are taking this task seriously with a view to addressing fundamental issues that pose grave threats to our economic prosperity, fiscal stability, and public health as a federation.
“In line with our mandate, we will definitely unravel the roots of economic sabotage in Nigeria’s petroleum industry and make necessary recommendations that will entrench global best practices in the industry and open it up for more investments, especially in the midstream and downstream sectors.
“We are utterly committed to this mandate. We shall also carry out this national assignment without fear or favour.”
He added, “We shall be fair and just to all parties with a view to promoting and protecting the strategic national interests of our fatherland.”
