The committees are to report back to the House for further legislative input within one week.
The resolution of the House was sequel to the unanimous adoption of a motion sponsored under matter of urgent public importance by Hon. Ossai Ossai at plenary.
The lawmaker while moving the motion had referred to a newspaper publication of May 9, 2016, which alleged that there was a cabal who have boasted that nothing can stop them from importing the fake and substandard tomato paste into the country.
“This ugly development of importation of cancer infested tomato paste is killing a lot of Nigerians and it is reported that this mafia group are collaborating with few indigenous manufacturers in Nigeria who are being used as a cover up,” he said.
Hon. Ossai expressed worry that the “Fake, Substandard, Cancer-causing Tomato Paste” has flooded the Nigerian markets with low prices which has compelled the closing down of local tomato companies in the country.
