SENATOR ODUAH CALLS THE INTERIM REPORT FROM SENATE DOWNSTREAM COMMITTEE BIASED AND UNFAIR

In Today’s plenary, the Senate deliberated the interim report from the Committee on Downstream Petroleum on:

INVESTIGATION OF THE LINGERING PREMIUM MOTOR SPIRIT (FUEL) CRISIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY

The report was greeted with outrage and condemnation from the floor of the Senate. Contributing to the debate, our distinguished Senator Oduah, OON made the following submissions:

According to her, the report was supposed to be a very technical report that requires detailed work. She said fuel scarcity in this nation is a reoccurring decimal which means there is a fundamental issue bedeviling the issue that requires resolution.

She said NNPC has not put in place a proper structure to address this reoccurring issue that has remained with us.

She said the report will not stand the test of time and it is an unfair and biased report that needs to be set aside for the committee to come back a later date with a more detailed report.

She called on the Senate to jettison the report for the committee to go back and do a more comprehensive and unbiased report that will address the fundamental issue of fuel scarcity in our country.
