Minister of finance unveils plan for audit, rigorous scrutiny of NNPCL

 The Minister of Finance & Coordinating Minister for the
Economy, Olawale Edun has hinted that plans are underway to audit the accounts
of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL,

 

He said that despite recommendations by the last two
ministers of Finance for an audit of the company, nothing of such happened.

 

The minister insisted on the necessity for rigorous
scrutiny, stressing the government’s eagerness to ensure revenue inflows from
the company.

 

Edun spoke at the release of the latest World Bank Nigeria
Development Update in Abuja.

 

He said, “There will be earnest scrutiny and I am sure NNPCL
is getting ready for that. We want revenue to come into the government coffers
from NNPC and all other revenue agencies.

 

“The last two ministers of Finance, namely, Mrs. Kemi
Adeosun and Mrs. Zainab Ahmed publicly said that the accounts of the NNPCL
would be looked into, but there has been no report of such audit made public.”
