Senate Panel Summons HYPREP Coordinator Over N17bn Ogoni Clean Up Project

The Public Accounts Committee of the Senate has summoned the Project Coordinator of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP), Prof. Nenibarini Zabbey, to appear before it within seven days.

The committee is demanding explanations on how the N7bn earmarked for the project was arrived at. At a media briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, the committee said it issued the ultimatum because Zabbey had spurned several invitations extended to him.
