Available information indicates that the \u201cInvestigation of the pre-shipment inspection of export activities in Nigeria\u201d is being conducted by the Senate joint committee on Finance, Trade and Investment, Gas, Petroleum Upstream, Banking, insurance and other Financial Institutions, Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, and Customs and Excise.<\/p>\n

A member of the committee, Senator Yusuf Yusuf (Taraba State), was quoted as saying: \u201cIt is worrisome that money comes in today,\u00a0tomorrow<\/span><\/span>\u00a0the same amount goes out of the country. The practice runs through statement of account submitted by the banks. The oil companies bring in $20 billion today, tomorrow<\/span><\/span>\u00a0$20 billion is taken out of the account. \u201cSome of the banks are colluding with multinational oil companies to defraud the country. The government relies on the banks, the banks are now colluding with the multi-national oil companies.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
