House of Reps Summons Dangote, NMDPRA Over $5m School Fees Allegation, Orders Halt to Public Dispute

The House of Representatives has summoned Aliko Dangote and officials of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) following escalating allegations and counter-claims threatening stability in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector. The decision was taken by the Joint House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream and Midstream) after an emergency meeting to address what lawmakers described as growing industry tension.

Committee chairman, Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, said the lawmakers ordered an immediate halt to all public exchanges between the Dangote Refinery and NMDPRA pending legislative investigation. The summon follows Dangote’s allegation that NMDPRA CEO Farouk Ahmed allegedly spent about $5 million on secondary school education for his four children in Switzerland—claims he said raise serious questions about regulatory integrity. The House assured that it would swiftly investigate the matter and propose sustainable solutions to protect sector stability in the post-fuel subsidy era.
