The piece examines the oversight responsibilities of the National Assembly, anchored in Section 88 of the 1999 Constitution, which empowers each chamber to investigate matters within its legislative competence. It also cites Section 62 as the foundation for specialised committees, including the Committee on Public Petitions, to receive and investigate citizen grievances. The article discusses the legislature's Standing Orders, formulated under Sections 60 and 101, and questions whether recent scrutiny of a top NNPCL official constitutes oversight or a coordinated smear.
