When contacted, the spokesperson for the NNPCL, Garba-Deen Muhammad, said the firm had nothing to hide and would answer any question from the Reps members.
In its report, the committee stated, ‘’From findings, asset worth $64bn was unveiled by Mr President but during transfer, only $58.8bn was transferred, leaving a balance of N2tn unaccounted. NNPCL should be meant to re-assess her accounting system.”
