The House of Representatives on Wednesday unveiled plans to investigate the issues surrounding the sale and abandonment of the Earth Satellite Station at Lanlate in Oyo State.

The resolution was passed sequel to the adoption of a motion sponsored by Hon. Oluyemi Adewale Taiwo, who expressed concern over the deplorable state of the facility.

“The House notes that the Nigerian Telecommunications Limited (NITEL) was a monopoly service provider in Nigeria until 1992 when the Federal Government enacted the Nigerian Communications Commission Act, allowing new entrants into the Communications sector.

“The House also notes that NITEL has contributed immensely to the development of the sector in many ways as it seconded several pioneer staff to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the Digital Bridge Institute.

“The House is aware that NATCOM acquired all assets owned by NITEL and its mobile arm, Mobile Telecommunications (MTEL), thus ending a decade of trickery over the resale of the company.

“The House is also aware that since the Privatization of NITEL in Lanlate, Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State, the infrastructure has been abandoned thus becoming obsolete with many of its equipment rendered useless,” he said.

While ruling, the Speaker, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila who presided over the plenary mandated the joint Committees on Telecommunications as well as Privatisation and Commercialisation to report back within two weeks for further legislative action.
