The committee, chaired by Aliyu Wadada, has directed the current GCEO, Bashir Bayo Ojulari, along with immediate past GCEO Mele Kyari, former CFO Umar Ajia, Dr. Bala Wunti, and external auditors, to appear. The Nigeria — Senate of Nigeria is dissatisfied with NNPCL's explanations, particularly regarding N103 trillion in liabilities and N107 trillion spent on Joint Venture cash calls and debts from defunct banks, demanding detailed breakdowns. Senators Osita Izunaso and Adams Oshiomhole moved and seconded the resolution, respectively, while Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi urged the use of National Assembly powers to compel NNPCL's appearance due to repeated failures to honor invitations.
