The Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, denies appointing PriceWaterHouseCoopers to audit the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) over the allegation the company diverted $20 billion oil money.
This revelation was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Minister, Paul Nwabuikwu, on Thursday.
According to Nwabuikwu, the statement came in response to a lawsuit filed by a group of three accounting firms before a Lagos High Court, accusing Okonjo-Iweala of violating the local content law by appointing PwC.
“The group is alleging that she appointed the global audit firm PWC to conduct the recently concluded forensic audit of the NNPC against the provisions of the Local Content Act,” he said.
