The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Gas, Senator Agom Jarigbe, has debunked claims that the removal of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Local Content was linked to the siting of Mini LNG Plants in Ajaokuta, Kogi State.
Papers News reports that Jarigbe, who represents Cross River North Senatorial District, made this clarification in a statement on Sunday, refuting allegations that the decision was politically motivated.
Senator Jarigbe stressed that the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and Akpoti-Uduaghan had no role in determining the location of the LNG plants.
