7:36Now PlayingFederal lawmakers in the Senate and the House of Representatives have gone on a long recess, but pockets of activities are still going on in the national assembly.
The House of Representatives committee on environment is investigating the impact of non-adherence of some agencies to environmental standards in their operations.
But the investigative hearing did not get off well, as a vital member of an agency lawmakers were to interrogate was absent.
An investigative meeting between the committee and Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) was stalled Thursday as a result of failure by the Director General of the agency, Mr Patrick Akpobolokemi, to appear before the committee and failure by the agency also to submit the relevant documents despite a three weeks notice.
The House Committee on Environment therefore gave the NIMASA three working days, till Tuesday August 5, to submit to it relevant documents pertaining to environmental impact management, environmental audit, and certificates for all projects carried out by the agency from 2012 till date.
