The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd (NNPC Ltd) has welcomed the investigation launched by the House of Representatives into the alleged payment of N20bn to ghost consultants.

In a statement released on Friday night, NNPC Ltd expressed confidence that the investigation would exonerate the company.

The statement, signed by Garba Deen Muhammad, Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd, described the allegations as “false and baseless”.

It further explained that NNPC Ltd had already refuted the allegations when they were first published by an online platform without any evidence to support them.
