House of Reps, on Tuesday, faulted the directive of President Buhari that the NBET be moved from the Ministry of Power to the Ministry of Finance.

In what it called “illegal and unconstitutional,” the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, faulted the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari that the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company Limited be moved from the Ministry of Power to the Ministry of Finance.

But, at a roundtable meeting on Tuesday at National Assembly complex in Abuja, the House Committee Chairman on Power, Aliyu Magaji , said only constitutional amendments can make such reshuffling stand. “So, NBET still remains in the Ministry of Power as far as we the parliament is concerned,” he said, ‘unless we change the law.’
