The Senate Thursday ordered the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission ( NUPRC ), to restore the Atala Marginal Oil field ( OML 46) to its former owners.

Speaking in Abuja during an investigative hearing, Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, Senator Ayo Akinyelure, who frowned at the total disregard for the Order of President Muhammadu Buhari that the Atala Oil field be reallocated to the original owners, also expressed disappointment over the non appearance of both NUPRC and the beneficiary, Halkin Oil during Thursday’s hearing.

Akinyelure said, “We have invited them severally and again, they have not been able to come before Nigerians and prove that the allocation of Atala Oil to Halkin is justified before the law and before humans. “The Nigerian Senate has asked the NUPRC to provide a written evidence that Mr. President reversed his own order. It has not been heard anywhere all over the world that, when Mr. President gives a presidential Order, a civil servant would go ahead and reverse it without a written permission from Mr. President.

“Today we are here, but we can’t see NUPRC, we can’t even see the MD of Halkin Oil to show us the President’s Order that reversed his earlier Order.
