NASS to establish parliamentary forum on EITI
Parliamentary group on Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is to be established by the National Assembly.
The group which is expected to be drawn from relevant Committees in the Senate and House of Representatives will coordinate legislative actions on implementation of remedial issues identified by independent audit reports of NEITI in the extractive industry.
According to NEITI in a statement signed by its corporate manager, Dr. Orji Ogbonia Orji, the decision to set up the parliamentary group was part of the resolutions reached at a retreat held in Lagos for members of the National Assembly on EITI implementation in Nigeria.
