NYSC

Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has said that the Senate on resumption of plenary will further probe the claims made before the Ahmed Lawan Adhoc Committee by the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), on how and why the corporation was diverting the dividend from the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas (NLNG) to defray the cost of under-recovery in the importation of fuel.

Saraki, while reacting to questions from newsmen at the Ilorin airport admitted that he had received series of telephone calls on the issue by many concerned Nigerians and others who wanted to know the position of the Senate on the issues raised by the NNPC GMD before the Ahmed Lawan Adhoc Committee.

He stated that the disclosure by the NNPC boss in response to enquiries by the Senate adhoc committee probing the issue of illegal payment of subsidy on fuel, called for further investigation by the Senate and also showed that as alleged in a motion moved earlier by Senate Minority Leader, Senator Biodun Olujinmi, a lot of illegal and unapproved spendings are going on in the petroleum corporation.
