He said that the committee would be succeeded by a newly constituted ad-hoc committee with the same mandate.
The committee was tasked with the job of investigating the importation of adulterated petroleum products, the non-availability of crude oil for domestic refineries, and other critical energy security issues.
He said that the dissolution was to ensure the efficacy and independence of the investigation.
The spokesperson said that the new committee would consist of members selected for their expertise, competence, and integrity.
Rotimi said that the House remained committed to addressing the vital issues and ensuring a thorough oversight.
Recall that on July 3, about 118 members under the banner of “1 AGENDA” placed an advertorial in three national dailies allegedly aimed at protecting NNPCL in the aborted probe panel.
However, some lawmakers whose names appeared in the advertorial distanced themselves from the advertorial.
