This followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance moved by Hon Mohammed Tahir Monguno at the plenary. Adopting a motion for investigation, the lawmakers insisted that the act of importing adulterated fuel was deliberate and that those culpable must be held accountable.
Hon Onofiok Luke while contributing to the motion, said the incident has brought additional hardship and pains on Nigerians, adding that many people have been calling him to complain of their vehicles’ engines parking up and malfunctioning fuel pumps.
He said besides holding all the culprits to account, there was the need to pay compensations to those whose vehicles have been affected by the adulterated fuel.
Hon Abubakar Fulata in his contribution said the importation of adulterated was not an accident but a deliberate act that must not be handled lightly.
Also, Hon Toby Okechukwu on his part said the regulatory agencies have failed woefully in their duties, adding that there must be restitution and compensation for victims of the adulterated fuel importation.
