President of the Senate Ahmad Lawan has said that the National Assembly will insist on accountability and transparency in the power sector, particularly in application of funds proposed for it in 2020 budget.
Lawan stated this when the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company NDPHC Chiedu Ugbo, led a delegation on a visit to the National Assembly, Abuja.
Lawan, in a statement by is Special Assistant on Press Ezrel Tabiowo, said that the Senate and House Committees would ensure prudent application of all funds channeled to the power sector.
The senate president said that the Federal Government had been shortchanged on agreements involving generation and distribution companies in the past.
He, however, warned that those behind shortchanging the government through power deals would be held accountable for their actions.
