The Nigerian Senate has pledged to uncover and expose saboteurs in the nation’s petroleum sector, particularly those involved in the importation of toxic fuel.
At a press conference held in Abuja on Thursday, the Senate ad-hoc committee, formed to investigate the alleged economic sabotage in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry, made this commitment clear. The committee is led by Senate Majority Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, who delivered the press statement alongside all committee members.
Bamidele stated, “We are also taking this task seriously to address 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.”
He further emphasized, “We are utterly committed to this mandate. We shall also carry out this national assignment without fear or favour. We shall be fair and just to all parties with a view to promoting and protecting the strategic national interests of our fatherland.”
