ABUJA — The Senate has given Seplat Energy, Network E&P Nigeria Limited and two other oil companies 48 hours to appear before it and respond to issues arising from the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) Oil and Gas Industry Audit Reports for 2021, 2022 and 2023.

The other companies summoned by the Senate Committee on Public Accounts, chaired by Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo (PDP, Gombe North), are All Grace Energy Limited and Aradel Energy Limited.

The ultimatum followed a resolution adopted by the committee on Tuesday after some members expressed displeasure over the failure of the affected companies to honour previous invitations.
