“I think we need to commend Nigerians for staying the cause to this stage of getting benefits.”
Senate Committee Chairman, Senator Sani Musa, emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in managing national resources. The session focused on key areas such as crude oil sales to domestic refineries and revenue remittances.
Attendees included NNPC’s GCEO Mele Kyari, NUPRC’s Director General Gbenga Komolafe, and representatives from the Central Bank. Senate President Godswill Akpabio joined the session later, underscoring the collaboration between stakeholders to ensure responsible management of Nigeria’s economy.
