The House of Representatives Joint Committee on Petroleum Resources has invited Dangote refinery and the NMDPRA to resolve disagreements threatening the downstream petroleum sector.
The committee chairman, Ikenga Ugochinyere, made this known after an emergency meeting in Abuja on Monday.
The lawmaker said the rising tensions could undermine the fragile stability recently achieved.
Ugochinyere said the committee must act swiftly, as efforts continue to stabilise supply, pricing, and regulation in Nigeria’s post-subsidy petroleum era.

Ugochinyere said: “The key issue is the renewed tension arising from concerns and allegations raised by Alhaji Aliko Dangote against the NMDPRA.
“We are guarding hard-won stability; sustainable solutions require identifying critical issues, hence our invitation to Dangote and the NMDPRA leadership.”
He said petitions received cover import licence issuance and whether domestic refineries can meet Nigeria’s daily petroleum demand.
Ugochinyere said all outstanding matters would be examined when refining and regulatory stakeholders appear before the committee.
