Mr. Malami is to explain to the Senate, what the Federal Government’s team is doing to resolve the matter.
He is expected to appear before the Senate committees on Judiciary, Petroleum Upstream and Gas.
A Federal Government had on Monday sent a delegation led by the Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Godwin Emefiele, to the United Kingdom to meet with some international media over the $9.6 billion cases involving the Process and Industrial Development Limited (P&ID).
