The Senate is to invite the Minister of Petroleum resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke and the executive secretary of the Petroleum Training Development Fund, Mr Muttagha Darma over the abandonment of building projects valued at over N20 billion at the Petroleum Training Institite (PTI).

The duo will appear before the Senate Committee on petroleum resources downstream to explain why building projects worth over N20 billion have been abandoned at Petroleum Training Institite (PTI), Effurun-warri in Delta state.

On an oversight tour of PTI, the committee members were stunned to discover that fifteen projects in the institution worth over N20 billion appeared to have been abandoned.

They discovered that the projects have been on-going for five years while some have been awarded, cancelled outright and have not been re-awarded since then.
