The national petroleum corporation has asked for allegations of misdeeds levelled against it in the subsidy report to be proven.

The House of Representatives said that contrary to denials by government officials, it has made available copies of the subsidy probe report to the Attorney General of the Federation Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC).

Speaking to newsmen yesterday at the National Assembly Complex, House spokesperson Zakari Mohammed said the Attorney General and all anti-corruption bodies have gotten copies of the management of subsidy probe report.

"We have given them copies and for anybody to say he did not get the report is strange as we have receipts or acknowledgment of the delivery of the report and as such we are not aware of any agency of government that is supposed to and have not gotten the report. I am confirming that we have appropriate offices and we are expecting that we will be on the same page that they have said and re-echoed on the implementation of the outcome of that investigation," he said.
