Mele Kyari, the Group CEO of NNPCL, has publicly refuted claims made by Aliko Dangote regarding the involvement of NNPC employees in operating a blending plant in Malta.
In his response, Kyari firmly stated that neither he nor the NNPC has any ownership or operational ties to such a facility.
He expressed surprise at the allegations and underscored that he is not aware of any NNPC staff engaging in these activities.
This denial reflects Kyari’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the organization and addressing any misinformation that may arise.
Furthermore, Kyari urged Dangote to provide the names of the alleged employees involved in this operation so that appropriate actions could be taken.
He emphasized that NNPC has strict compliance measures in place, and any employee found participating in unauthorized activities would face serious consequences.
This exchange highlights the importance of transparency and accountability within the oil and gas sector, as both leaders navigate the complexities of their respective businesses while ensuring that ethical standards are upheld.
