President Muhammadu Buhari and Ibe Kachikwu , Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, are currently in a closed door meeting at the State House, Abuja.

The meeting is about Kachikwu’s allegations of insubordination and humiliation against Maikanti Baru, Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

The Minister arrived the State House at 11:40am on Friday.

He had alleged that the NNPC boss had repeatedly sidelined and disrespected the board of the national oil firm, which is chaired by the minister of state.

The minister, in a leaked letter, had informed Buhari that against the rules, some over $25bn contracts were never reviewed or discussed with him or the board of NNPC.
