Nigeria’s Senate has set up a committee to investigate transactions in the Mambilla Hydroelectric power project.
The resolutions were adopted after a motion moved by Senator Manu Haruna representing Taraba Central, on the urgent need to address the challenges of commencing the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project.
The lawmaker had in his motion highlighted the failure of previous governments to prioritise the national project with its capacity to generate 3050 megawatts.
In their contributions, other senators asserted that the Mambilla hydro project is non-existent, describing it as a dubious process.
In his remarks, Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin said lack of power supply had plunged the country into further hardship.
The Senate however directed its committees on Finance, Power, Water Resources and Appropriation to investigate the circumstances surrounding the Mambila power projects, given four weeks to report back to the Senate in plenary for further legislative input.
