N9 Trillion Contract Scam: Kachikwu Meets Buhari

Kachiukwu and Buhari

Following the leaked memo by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, to President Muhammadu Buhari, complaining about insubordination and alleged corruption by the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Maikanti Baru, the duo will meet at the presidential villa today, Thursday.

Mr. Kachikwu is slated to meet Mr. Buhari at 11:30 a.m.


In his letter, Mr. Kachikwu urged the president to take urgent action to save the NNPC amid a N9 trillion contract scam allegedly involving Mr. Baru.

Mr. Kachikwu said he found it necessary to call the attention of the president to the wrongdoings because they were capable of hindering progress in the country’s petroleum sector or even reverse recorded strides.

He also said he resorted to writing the memo because of his inability to have a one on one meeting with the president.

Since the meno was dated August 30th, it's obvious that some powerful beings blocked it from getting to the president.
