The Senate Committee on Public Accounts, chaired by Senator Matthew Urhoghide, initiated a probe into the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) for suspected fraud in a ₦7.5 billion contract for the rehabilitation of the Bonny Channel in Bayelsa State. Triggered by the 2017 Auditor-General's report, the investigation queried the payment of the contract sum to Messrs Tambo Marine Nigeria Limited without any visible work done or evidence of due process.
