The Committee, which is led by Senator Abubakar Kyari, will also probe the process by which the now defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) was unbundled.
The Senate reached the decision pursuant to a motion sponsored by the Senator Ali Ndume.
The committee is expected to conclude its investigations and report to the Senate within two weeks.
