The Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele has said the National Assembly will soon go after alleged saboteurs in the oil and gas sector.
Bamidele stated this in a New Year message, titled “Another Year of Limitless Opportunities,” made available to journalists in Abuja.
He listed the consideration of the N49.7trillion 2025 budget, the tax reform bills, amendment of the 1999 Constitution, among others, items that would be on the legislative agenda of the National Assembly in the new year.
He said the National Assembly will dutifully sustain the drive of the President Bola Tinubu-led government to deepen global best practices in the country’s petroleum industry.
The Senate Leader said: “This is the rationale behind the Senate Ad-hoc Committee to Investigate Alleged Economic Sabotage in the Nigerian Petroleum Industry.
“Considering the significance of the Committee, the National Assembly has initiated the process to constitute a joint committee of the Senate and House of Representatives to look more decisively and incisively into diverse issues spurring infraction and sabotage in the petroleum.”
