The Presidency on Sunday
dismissed reports that $25bn worth of oil contracts were awarded by the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
It also denied insinuations in
certain quarters that $25bn is missing from NNPC account.
This was contained in a statement
issued by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Vice
President, Yemi Osinbajo, Laolu Akande.
Akande said, “No contracts were
procured by the NNPC based on the leaked memo of the Petroleum Resources
Minister of State, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, even though such impressions have been
maliciously created in the past few weeks.”
