Former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kolo Kyari, has said he has nothing to hide as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigates refinery repair funding during his tenure.
Kyari, who surrendered himself to the anti-graft agency on Wednesday after reports that he had been declared wanted, insisted that he had discharged his responsibilities diligently and transparently.
In a statement issued on Thursday titled “Hard questions, honest answers”, Kyari stressed the importance of accountability and institutions fulfilling their duties.
“I have done my part; the EFCC must do theirs. When each of us does our duty – without fear of favor, with honour, respect and commitment – Nigeria moves forward,” he said.
The EFCC is probing billions of dollars reportedly expended on turnaround maintenance of Nigeria’s refineries under Kyari’s leadership at NNPCL.
