The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on Friday summoned the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari, over the N48bn pipeline surveillance contract awarded to stakeholders in the Niger Delta region.
This followed a petition sent to the Senate by Isoko community of Delta State alleging exclusion of their people in the execution of the multi-billion-naira project.
The pipeline surveillance contract was awarded by the Federal Government to Global West Vessel Specialist Limited, a private security firm founded by Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo.
