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.

“NNPC Ltd had earlier refuted this false and baseless allegation that was first published by an online platform without any iota of evidence.

“Under the current Board and Management, NNPC Ltd has instituted a culture of transparency that includes making its annual Audited Financial Statements (AFS) public.

“It is in this light that the NNPC Ltd welcomes the resolution of the House of Representatives to investigate this very outrageous allegation.
