The Senate said it has mandated its committee on gas to investigate the use to which the sum of $3.5bn alleged subsidy was diverted by the Nigerian National Petroleum Commission (NNPC).
This was contained in a tweet on the verified Twitter handle of The Nigerian Senate, @NGRSenate.
In a series of tweets from its official twitter handle, the Senate said it has set up a committee that will look into how $3.5bn NNPC oil subsidy was used.
It tweeted: "Senator Bassey Akpan cited Orders 43 and 95 and drew the attention of the Senate to the various emails and complaints from the general public on the unauthorised withdrawal of $3.5bn by NNPC from the NLNG account.
"I ask that the Senate Committee on Gas immediately investigate this matter."
The Senate also tweeted that Senator Emmanuel Paulker urged that: “The ad hoc committee that was set up should carry on with their work, while the committee on Gas should also investigate the matter."
