On a motion by Senator Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi West) titled "Monumental Fraud in the Power Sector", the Senate mandated its Committees on Power and Public Accounts to invite the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, to account for spending on the Fast Power projects, including the Afam plant, and to investigate an alleged plan to divert US$350 million from the 2013 US$1 billion Eurobond, given to the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading company and held by the NSIA, to those projects. Melaye alleged that US$35 million had been spent without National Assembly approval. Fashola denied wrongdoing.
