The Nigerian Senate has issued a warrant of arrest against the management of construction company, Julius Berger, for snubbing its invitation on several occasions.
The Senate’s resolution on Thursday followed a motion raised by Senator Osita Ngwu, representing Enugu West, expressing concern over Julius Berger’s repeated failure to appear before the Senate Committee on Works.
The lawmaker noted that Julius Berger has many failed contracts littered all over the country, stressing that there was need to investigation the development.
However, according to him, the company is taking the Senate for granted.
Making reference to the power of Senate to summon anyone before its investigative committee, Ngwu said: “If a committee summons any person or entity to come for a committee hearing and that entity does not send a representative or do not appear in any way, the normal thing is to report to the presiding officer and then warrants will be issued.”
