Corruption Allegations: Reps Summon Dangote, NMDPRA CEO

Corruption Allegations: Reps Summon Dangote, NMDPRA CEO

The House of Representatives Joint Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream and Midstream) has invited the President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and the CEO of Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Alhaji Faruk Ahmed, to appear before it following allegations and counter allegations by the duo. Dangote had on Sunday levelled allegations of corruption and economic sabotage against Ahmed.

The committees, led by Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere and Hon.Henry Okogie, disclosed this after an emergency meeting yesterday. They said the meeting was convened in response to what they described as “growing tension” capable of undermining the fragile stability recently achieved in the sector with concerns being raised by different stakeholders.

According to Ugochinyere, the committees were compelled to act swiftly to prevent further escalation, especially at a time when government and industry stakeholders are working to stabilise supply, pricing and regulation in the post-subsidy era.

“The key issue that necessitated this emergency meeting was the growing tension that has returned to the downstream sector as a result of concerns and allegations raised by Alhaji Aliko Dangote against the NMDPRA,” Ugochinyere said.

The lawmaker explained that only a clear understanding of the underlying problems would enable the National Assembly to broker lasting solutions without fear or favour. The committee also appealed to both parties to halt public exchanges and media comments while legislative intervention is ongoing.

He revealed that the committee has already received petitions touching on critical industry concerns, including the issuance of import licences and questions around whether domestic refineries have the capacity to meet Nigeria’s daily petroleum needs. Ugochinyere said the decisions announced reflected the unanimous outcome of the committee’s closed-door deliberations, a position he said was affirmed by his colleagues.

The EFCC doesn't work with hearsay. They need petitions and hard facts so they don't go to court and disgrace themselves.

In 2Baba's voice..."nothing de happen..." Something de happen

Royal Rumble.

Alhaji Aliko don vex reach. He is willing to fight dirty.

Person hustle set up $25Bn project, you want use corruption kill am.

Hopefully it won't end like the "off your mic" charade

Something that EFCC and ICPC should pack all of them

EFCC should be looking into this matter and not NASS. They have been there all along with crazy things happening under their watch so they cannot just wake up now and start acting like they didn't know.

Opportunity to collect their share from both sides , taking over duties that belong to the police, EFCC and ICPC

Do they get petitions before raiding Yahoo boys? Una go just open mouth waaaaa.

Instead of them to investigate the allegations by Dangote the Reps want to embark on a peace mission so that the yam eater will continue to eat our yam in peace... useless House of RepresentaTHIEVES.

As it should be. Let’s hope for proper dialogue

It should be EFCC, ICPC inviting them for thorough investigation with no restrictions!

Ogu NDI hausa.

Na family matter so Ugo chinyere should comot him hands there.

EFCC should be on the lookout to deal with this matter since the President is practising 'siddon look'.
He wants to allow two scions to destroy themselves.

Yes, they receive intelligence from residents that Yahoo boys are living in estates in large numbers before they raid.

Well, the EFCC acts need amendment, but that's exactly how they operate when a single individual is involved.

this is how these thieves truncate investigation and justice. are they CIB, FCID, DSS or DMI? that is meant to investigate, arrest, interrogate and prosecute!? the EFCC and ICPC is there this is their core obligation.

the EFCC don't need hearsay to go court but need to gather fact, to investigate, to build a case also to prosecute. mind you Aliko Dangote did present hearsay but facts, he called out to authority to do the needful, I believe the State is supposed to have swing into action from that point.

for the fact EFCC don't need petitions before they come or go for any individual. all they need is hearsay (like you called it), then they start investigating individuals. why do you think, alcoholism is now tradition with police officers? it all started from them locking around beer parlor and pubs back then just to gather info. I don't want to say much.

What stops them to investigate and get those hard facts? Is it th citizens that will forward it to them?

Na me go find am for dem. Dangote spent mins giving clues; the man salary; 4 children in Switzerland. Match those up!

The Senate committee charades is about to begin. Same people chairing the committee are equally as corrupt if not more so than the faruk man

But they hunt yahoo boys like game. They don't wait till they are petitioned. My point? Once there is an economic/financial crimes rumor, they are supposed to investigate. If it turns false, prosecute the rumor monger(s). If it's true, sue the economic saboteurs to court!

what is good move, Do you think the reps are looking to query Farouk on corruption ... they are concern a fellow thief is under the hook, if they leave him they dont know what Dangote is up to next

There mission is how to stop Dangote from talkinfg .. it is bad for all of them, they want to Box dangote, tell the nation they have settle it, no more need for EFCC
