President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the release of the report of forensic audit of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) accounts which was hitherto kept from public glare for reasons best known to the presidency.
A statement by the Special Adviser to President Jonathan on media and publicity, Reuben Abati expressed Jonathan’s deep concern
“by the continuing suggestions that his administration still has anything to hide about the unproven allegation that about $20 Billion is unaccounted for by the NNPC during his tenure.
“To lay the matter to rest, President Jonathan in line with Section 7(2) of the NNPC Act, has directed that the full report of the PWC Forensic Audit of the NNPC accounts be released immediately to the public so that all Nigerians will be properly informed on the matter,” the statement read.
