The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petition has summoned AGIP Oil Company to appear before it on June 26, over alleged N80 million owed to De Cooon Services Ltd.

Rep. Michael Etaba, Chairman of the Committee expressed displeasure over non-payment and non-appearance of AGIP oil at its investigative hearing in Abuja on Thursday.

He said that not paying an indigenous company for a job well done and patronising foreigners for the same job was unfortunate. “I don’t know who is protecting who but no one is above the law; the only people who have immunity are the governor and President. He said the matter started more than five years ago, adding that a situation where a Nigerian company is being strangled by an Italian firm was unfortunate.
