On a motion by Senator Manu Haruna (Taraba Central), co-sponsored by Senator Danjuma Goje and others, the Senate mandated its Committees on Appropriations, Power and Finance to investigate all transactions on the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project since 1999. In 2017 the Federal Government signed a US$5.792 billion contract with a Chinese consortium for the 3,050 MW plant in Taraba State, to be funded 85 percent by the consortium and 15 percent by the government, but work had not started.
