The Senate has set up a panel to probe the Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, over allegations made against him.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu in a petition to President Muhammadu Buhari which was leaked to the public accused the NNPC boss of awarding contracts worth $25bn without following the due process.
The panel is expected to also investigate the policy introduced by the NNPC Trading Limited, a subsidiary of the corporation, among other issues.
