The House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts has shifted the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke’s hearing to June 26, after it had failed to commence on June 17.

The Chairman of the committee, Mr. Solomon Olamilekan, said that there was no going back on the investigation, as the committee was set to start proceedings on June 26.
 
 “I will go ahead with the hearing and the committee will submit its report to the House,” he said.
The Petroleum Minister is under investigation on the N10bn the allegedly spent in two years to charter a private jet, Challenger 850. Two other jets, including a Global Express XRS, are also under the searchlight of the House.
