The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, has said the NNPC would comply with the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts.
In a statement issued in Abuja, Kyari pointed out that NNPC would continue to be accountable and transparent.
This followed the request by the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts seeking the appearance of heads of NNPC subsidiaries before the lawmakers.
Kyari said, “We have nothing to hide, Mr Chairman. We recognise that this company belongs to over 200 million Nigerians as its shareholders, thus we have been accountable and transparent and we will continue to remain so.
“No national oil company in the world is as transparent as we are. We shall comply with the House committee’s requirement.”
The committee had on March 16, through a letter signed by its Chairman, Oluwole Oke (PDP: Osun), summoned the 17 subsidiaries of NNPC to respond to audit queries by the Auditor-General for the Federation over the operations of their finances between 2014 and 2019.
