The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, PPPRA, has said it did not present forged documents to the House of Representatives Committee on Finance.

The PPPRA Assistant General Manager, Corporate Services, PPPRA, Kimshi Apollo, reportedly, said “There is nothing like forgery and we are bringing our document before the committee tomorrow (Thursday) and prove our point.

“I don’t know how people jumped to the conclusion that these documents were forged. It was just a question of reconciling the figures which our people are now doing.

“You must know that the payments of these revenues were not to PPPRA. They were through REMITA. The records are with the Central Bank of Nigeria and so for somebody to say you forged what is already with the CBN and has become a public record is absurd.”

However, Chairman of the Committee, Rep. James Faleke, earlier directed the PPPRA to reappear on Thursday following the inability of the PPPRA Assistant General Manager (AGM), Corporate Services, Kimshi Apollo to provide clear responses to some of the questions.

Faleke, who noted that the agency provided conflicting records on the daily discharge and consumption of petroleum products in the nation.

He said: “Tell us that the documents are not correct so that we can move forward. So, the data you gave us yesterday which says 52 million per day was wrong, so your Naira figure too will be wrong.

“We are working on this foundation, upon which we will develop and work with tomorrow.”
