The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and the Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Munirudeen Oyebamiji, have been summoned by a House of Representatives panel over the Baro Port project in Niger State.
The summons was announced by the chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Rehabilitation and Operationalisation of the Baro Inland Port, Saidu Abdullahi, during the panel’s sitting on Tuesday.
Oyetola and Oyebamiji are expected to present themselves before the committee with documents detailing the expenditure on the project so far.

“We need everything: the full contract files, evaluation reports, evidence of what was done and what was not done.
“We are asking for all relevant documents as far as the Baro port is concerned. We are not here to fight anybody. This committee is very serious about our job. The managing director and the minister are summoned to appear.
“The matter has been referred to this committee, and we are going to do our work thoroughly. We want to know how much was paid to the contractor.
“We want the financial breakdown. Let’s stop playing games. Somebody must take responsibility for what is a scandal.
“This is a very serious matter. We cannot allow a project that has gulped several billions of naira to go to waste. This house will not accept it.
