Ministers of Blue Economy Gboyega Oyetola
The House of Representatives has summoned some top government officials over the alleged fraudulent concession of some ports infrastructure.
Ministers of Blue Economy Gboyega Oyetola, Transportation, Saidu Alkali, the Managing Director, Nigeria Ports Authority, Mohammed Bello Koko, the Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprise, Mamman Ahmadu, as well as the Director-General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, Micheal Ohiani, among others, were invited for questioning.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation, Ibrahim Hamisu (APC, Kaduna) issued the summons at a meeting with the seaport terminal operators in Abuja.
The lawmaker also lamented the absence of top government officials to explain their role in the concession of the seaport terminals.
The committee members expressed their displeasure at the alleged shady manner the concession process was managed which had allowed five companies to be operating for five years without renewal, thereby, leading to huge loss of revenue to the Federal Government.
