The Joint Committees on Petroleum Resources stated this when they received in Abuja the Global Leadership of Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, IETI.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Downstream, Mr. Ikenga Ogochinyere, explained that, as a legislative arm, they would strengthen the legal framework that will empower the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) to perform efficiently.

The Executive Secretary of NEITI, Dr. Orji Ogbonanya Orji, emphasized that an action plan has been provided by the body to aid the legislative oversight functions of the Parliament in tracking and monitoring the activities of extractive industries.

The leader of the delegation, Mr. Bady Balde, said their mission in Nigeria was to encourage the government on how the natural resources could be effectively utilized.
