The chairman, House Auto Committee on the State of Refineries in the country, Ghaniyu Johnson, who disclosed this at a press briefing, regretted that the contract is said to have been executed, money paid, but the refineries are still not working. Our correspondent tells us more. Over the years, Nigeria's oil and gas industry has suffered so much negligence, particularly with regards to the country's refineries, with billions budgeted and nothing to show for it. Worryed by this disturbing situation, the House of Representatives waded into the matter by inviting relevant stakeholders and the Group Managing Director to appear before the Committee to give accounts of monies spent to date and the State of Refineries. Work completion certificates issued on rehabilitation projects carried out on refineries from year 2012 to date. For the obtained time, the NNPC and the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources shunned a parent for reasons best known to the corporation. As chairman of this Honorable Committee, I hereby summon the Group Managing Director of NNPC, the Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, and the General Managers of Potacott, Worry and Cardinal Refineries to appear before the Committee on Thursday, April 28, 2020 to avoid legal, constitutional and parliamentary measures.
