The ad-hoc committee of the House of Representatives investigating the alleged crude oil swap contracts has vowed to take “appropriate actions” against Diezani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum resources, for failing to honour its invitation.
The Committee also lamented the absence of Haruna Momoh, a former managing director of the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC).
While Momoh, who claimed to be ill, sent his younger brother to represent him, no one stood in for Alison-Madueke. Zakari Mohammed, chairman of the committee, described their absence as an affront.
“It is unfortunate that they turned down our invitation. Anyone who knows them should tell them they are daring the parliament. We have taken note and we are going to take appropriate action”, he said.
