Kyari Speaks On Moving NNPC Headquarters From Abuja To Lagos State
The Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd has refuted claims that it plans on moving its headquarters from Abuja to Lagos.
The Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari made the rebuttal on Friday when he appeared before an ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives for an investigative hearing on the allegation of corrupt acquisition of OVH Energy by NNPC.
Kyari explained that contrary to the petition against them, the company had no plans of moving its headquarters to Lagos, adding that this was in spite of its present status of a private company, registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
He, however, stated that the insinuations might be connected to the fact that the company conducts 70 percent of its operations in Lagos.
