On a motion by the Minority Leader, Kingsley Chinda, the Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, set up an ad hoc committee chaired by Nnolim Nnaji to investigate claims by Dangote Refinery that international oil companies were frustrating its purchase of local crude, the issue of import licenses by the NMDPRA for substandard petroleum products, and related matters, with four weeks to report. In July 2024 the House panel directed NNPC Limited to stop further crude-for-loan deals until it concluded its investigation.
