The establishment of this panel underscores the urgency and importance of the probe, which requires close coordination between the Senate and the House of Representatives.
A statement from the House Spokesperson, Akin Rotimi Jr., highlighted the need for a coordinated approach to address these issues effectively. The committee is expected to commence its duties immediately to enhance oversight and facilitate a comprehensive review of the petroleum and gas industry’s operations.
