(NNPC) on Tuesday, next week, when the House of Representatives reconvenes. The Maikanti Baru-led agency will be pummelled for illegally subsidising the pump price of fuel at billions of naira. Speaker Yakubu Dogara has reportedly been briefed already about the decisive session.
“Definitely, the House would bring it up and I am sure we are going to deal with that because it is wrong to do so without appropriation. That is the impunity we talk about. They cannot be the executive and at the same time discharge the duties of the legislature. Everybody has his own area of jurisdiction,” Comrade Akinlaja Joseph (PDP, Ondo East/West) told reporters yesterday at the National Assembly Complex.
The lawmaker, who was the General Secretary of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG), reiterated the desire of the House to ensure the passage into law of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) before the eighth Assembly winds up in June next year.
