President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the immediate release of the
full audit report of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC,
accused of diverting $20 billion oil money.
The president gave the directive Monday, a day after the
president-elect Muhammadu Buhari, pledged to launch an investigation
into the claim made by a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
Lamido Sanusi.
The government immediately released the report following the
president’s directive. The presidency criticised the All Progressives
Congress, APC, for accusing Mr. Jonathan of indulging in last minute
illegal acts ahead of handover of power on May 29.
“President Jonathan is also deeply concerned by the continuing
suggestions that his administration still has anything to hide about the
unproven allegation that about $20 Billion is unaccounted for by the
NNPC during his tenure,” said a statement by presidential spokesperson,
Reuben Abati.
“To lay the matter to rest, President Jonathan in line with Section
7(2) of the NNPC Act, has directed that the full report of the PWC
Forensic Audit of the NNPC accounts be released immediately to the
public so that all Nigerians will be properly informed on the matter.”
