The leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele has disclosed that investigation of alleged economic sabotage in the petroleum sector by Adhoc committees separately set up by both the Senate and the House of Representatives in July will now be jointly handled by both chambers.
Senator Bamidele who doubles as the Chairman of the investigative Adhoc committee made this to newsmen on Monday.
He said the industry is not optimal in its performance and may not be unconnected to crude oil theft, endless turnaround maintenance of public refineries, importation of substandard petroleum products and disruption of fuel supply, among others.
Contrary to some media reports, the Senate never suspended its Ad-hoc Committee to Investigate Alleged Economic Sabotage in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry, but postponed its public hearing due to the need to address issues that border on the Rules of the National Assembly.
He added that both chambers are expecting the new Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) from the Executive which he says are integral parts of the yearly budget preparation, consideration and approval.
