The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions has concluded its investigation into a petition filed against the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority, Dr Yau Idris, over the alleged denial of promotion to a pioneer staff member of the agency.
The Chairman of the Committee, Kwamoti La’ori, announced the closure of the hearing on Thursday evening, saying the panel would now prepare its final report containing findings and recommendations on the dispute.
The petition was filed by a Deputy Director and one of the pioneer employees of the NNRA, Mr Abdulhadi Abdullahi, who accused the agency’s management of unlawfully denying him promotion to the rank of Director despite allegedly meeting all statutory requirements.
Speaking with journalists after the hearing, Abdullahi expressed confidence in the committee’s handling of the matter, saying he believed lawmakers would arrive at a fair decision based on the documentary evidence presented before them.
