 The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Melikeari and the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Meat Stream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, Farouk Ahmed, have shunned the pro-panel constituted by the House of Representatives to investigate irregularities, alleged corruption and more in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited. Chairman of the Adho Committee, Honourable Abubaka Nalaraba, said the committee was constituted following a House resolution to investigate circumstances surrounding the acquisition of OVH energy marketing by the NNPCL. Do you have what it takes to speak for them in this public hearing? Can you provide us with all the information we require today? If you can, then we proceed with this public hearing because we need a representative that can speak on their behalf. Are you ready to speak on their behalf? Are you ready to answer questions on their behalf? Does your representation here amounts to their personal views? If you have been called upon to make a presentation out of force, can you do that? Can you take that for them? I bring to you the humble apologies of Malam Melekiari, the Group CEO of NNPC Limited. He is unable to attend. Out of last week, we had actually sent a letter of some regrets about his availability this week. Despite that, he still wanted to be here personally and reach out to this committee. Unfortunately, he had an emergency.
