The House of Representatives has summoned the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC, Mele Kyari, over alleged award of a coastal shipping contract to a foreign company.
The Chairman, House Committee on Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring, Legor Idagbor, issued the summons in Abuja, during an investigative hearing on the contract allegedly awarded in 2020.
The House said if the NNPC failed to appear, the process of the law and the powers given to the National Assembly would be followed to deal with the corporation.
The House also summoned the Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, as well as the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board NCDMB.
He directed the NNPC, Transportation Ministry and the NCDMB to furnish the committee with every single detail of the contract, as it did not have a single document in relation to the contract in its possession.
