ABUJA – The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is now on track and it is the most important Federal Government Institution which we all feel part of through its impact on the economy, Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has said.

Mallam El-Rufai made this known when the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru paid him a courtesy visit in Kaduna.




Governor El-Rufai noted that 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.

He said “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 Dr. Baru at the helm, I believe NNPC is on the right track.”

According to him, the GMD is a man of quality and integrity and his appointment is well deserved. Under his watch, the results are beginning to show.
