Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petition on Thursday summoned AGIP Oil Company over alleged non-payment of N80 million owed to De Cooon Services Limited.<\/p>\n

The chairman of the committee, Michael Etaba, gave the directive at an investigative hearing in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He expressed displeasure over the non-payment and non-appearance of AGIP at Thursday\u2019s hearing and ordered the company to appear before the committee on June 26.<\/p>\n

De Coon is an indigenous company run by Prof. Nelson Onubogu.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker described as unfortunate Agip\u2019s refusal to pay the company for a job well done.<\/p>\n

He stressed it was time for Nigerians to take themselves seriously.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the issue, a member of the committee, Matthew Nwogwu, said that the non-appearance of AGIP was disrespectful.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that people who are supposed to be accountable to Nigerians are not.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a committee like this is mandated by the constitution to handle issues concerning the lives of Nigerians, it summons an organisation but the refusal should call for worry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know who is protecting who but no one is above the law; the only people who have immunity are the governor and President.Balanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.<\/p>\n
