The Senate has launched an investigation into transactions in the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project from 1999 to date.

The resolution was adopted after a motion moved Senator MANU HARUNA representing Taraba Central, on the urgent need to address the challenges of commencing the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project.

Lawmakers highlighted the failure of previous governments to prioritise the national project with its capacity to generate 3050 megawatts.

The upper chamber also resolved that in reviving the project, the original idea of 3,000 megawatts capacity be maintained.
