At the committee session held on the 18th of June, 2025, the chairman, Senator Aliyu Wadada, confirmed that external auditors had been brought in to aid the process.
“We and NNPC and external auditors are here because of discrepancies that we have discovered from their audited financial statements, which is in the public domain already,” Wadada stated.
He emphasized that the committee would not accept any document contradicting what is already published in the audited reports.
“So any document that contradicts what is contained in their audited financial statement is in abhorrence here. We have no question.
