Former Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) Group Chief Executive Officer Mele Kyari on Tuesday appeared before the Senate Committee on Public Accounts.
Kyari, dressed in white, arrived at Hearing Room 4 of the National Assembly accompanied by a delegation of oil company officials. His appearance comes months after lawmakers threatened to compel him to attend over alleged financial irregularities.
The committee, chaired by Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe North), is investigating alleged financial discrepancies and unresolved audit queries in NNPCL accounts between 2017 and 2023, involving more than ₦210 trillion. Lawmakers had previously expressed frustration over Kyari’s failure to honour several invitations, with some senators, including Adams Oshiomhole, calling for stronger measures to ensure his attendance.
