The Senate on Tuesday mandated the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, to issue a warrant of arrest to compel the Managing Director of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Peer Lubasch, to appear before its committee on works at a date to be specified by the red chamber.
The resolution of the Senate followed its consideration and adoption of a point of order moved by the Minority Whip, Senator Osita Ngwu (PDP-Enugu West) during plenary.
Ngwu in his motion, which was co-sponsored by Senators Asuquo Ekpeyong (APC -Cross River South) and Barinada Mpigi (PDP – Rivers South East), informed the Senate that Julius Berger Plc has consistently refused to appear before the Senate committee on works to answer questions on abandoned projects and alarming contract variation from N54billion to N195billion.
Akpabio said that the date for the arrest would be stated in the warrant.
