Reps

The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions has once again summoned the management of Agip Oil Company over an alleged N80 million owed to a local contractor, De Coon Services Ltd.

The chairman of the committee, Michael Etaba , issued the summons on Thursday after the management refused to appear before the panel. During the hearing, Etaba said the committee summoned Agip after a petition was submitted to the House, noting that Agip shunned the invitation. He stated that it was unfortunate to neglect paying an indigenous company for a job well done while patronising foreigners for the same work.

Agip took all my cancelled contracts and gave them to my own staff while they were working for me,” Onubogu alleged, stressing that he won’t accept anything less than the full payment from the oil giant. 'All I am saying here is that Agip should pay my money; Agip should be mandated by the NNPCL to pay my money. I don't believe in middle ground; the right thing should be done; they owe me, and they should pay my money and restore all my contracts as awarded to me.
