Governor of Kaduna, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, says the Maikanti Baru led Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has not defaulted in its remittances to the Federation Account, The Vanguard reports.
According to a statement by the corporation, El-Rufai made this known when the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru paid him a courtesy visit in Kaduna on Friday.
He said, “Since the coming of the President Buhari administration, the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) remittances by the NNPC are regular, lowering the intensity of complaints on the issue by Governors.
“I have not being impressed with the NNPC in the past, and that is because of the then political leadership which used the Corporation as a conduit but with Baru at the helm, I believe NNPC is on the right track.”
