-Mr. Ibe Kachikwu to meet President Buhari today over NNPC crisis.

The Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, will meet President Muhammadu Buhari today, Thursday at the presidential villa at 11:30 am.

This meeting comes on heels of the letter sent by the minister to the president, two days ago, complaining about insubordination, humiliation and alleged corruption by the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Maikanti Baru which was leaked to the media.

Mr. Kachikwu resorted to writing the letter because of his inability to have a one on one meeting with the president. In his letter, he called on the president to take drastic steps to save the NNPC amid a N9 trillion contract scam allegedly involving NNPC director.

The minister is expected to further discuss the allegations with the president at meeting in order to know the way forward.
