Lokoja— The Speaker, House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, said yesterday that the House would take necessary steps to ensure that those indicted in the oil subsidy probe faced justice.

Tambuwal said this in Lokoja during a courtesy visit on Gov. Idris Wada of Kogi State.

The Speaker added that the probe into the administration of oil subsidy was constitutional, saying “anybody who held contrary view should come to the floor of the House to say so.”

He said the House had decided to do things differently to solve the nagging problems bedevilling the country, promising that it would not disappoint Nigerians.

Tambuwal, who was accompanied by the Chief Whip, Mr Ahmed Moukthar and seven other members, urged the governor to tap into the abundant natural resources in Kogi to transform the socio-economic activities of the people.

He advised the governor to establish a mini cement plant in the state and take decisive steps on the reactivation of the Ajaokuta Steel Complex and the National Iron Ore Mining Company, Itakpe.

He noted that the companies were originally established to serve as spring board for the country’s industrialisation.

In his response, Wada lauded the Speaker for the quality of debate in the House under his leadership.

He, however, urged Tambuwal to help the state by ensuring that Ajaokuta Steel Complex was reactivated in line with the promise made by President Goodluck Jonathan to the people of the state in December 2011.

He also solicited the support of the House for the completion of the N7.8 billion Bagana-Guto Bridge which was inaugurated in February 2007.
