Why we’re yet to move against NNPC – Buhari

The Federal Government, yesterday, attributed the delay in moving against the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to efforts being made to establish the magnitude of fraud and
inefficiencies in the corporation and in the oil and gas industry over the last couple of years.

Speaking in an interview on the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA’s, ‘Good Morning Nigeria,’ programme, President Muhammadu Buhari disclosed that the government was already working with some individuals that are helping it to track the destination of stolen crude oil and the accounts the proceeds were paid into.

He also reassured during the interview that only patriotic, decent and experienced Nigerians would be appointed as ministers in his government even as he lamented the state of the Air Force, which according to him could not support ground troops in the fight against Boko Haram terrorists due to lack of serviceable equipment.
