The NLNG is expected to appear before the Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions within a week or face the consequences of failing to do so.

The Senate has summoned the management of Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Limited over the company's alleged refusal to pay compensation for lands acquired from 73 host communities in Rivers State. The summon was issued on Wednesday by Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, following a report by the committee.

NLNG should appear within one week before our Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions with their evidence of compensation.
