The House consequently resolved to investigate the matter, insisting that the government officials in the import and distribution chain, whose action or inaction led to the spread of the commodity, must be held accountable.
REPORTERS AT LARGE earlier reported that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), and MRS Oil Nigeria Plc had traded blame on the issues
The Group Managing Director, NNPC Limited, Mele Kyari, had named MRS and three other dealers as the firms that imported the contaminated products into Nigeria.
