The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has said she would meet the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Maikanti Baru, over discrepancies in payment into the Federation Account.
This is coming after the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting on Tuesday became inconclusive due to discrepancies of about N37.76 billion in revenue presented by the NNPC.
Adeosun, who is also the Chairman of FAAC, said she called for an emergency meeting next week with Baru and other key management staff over revenue payment into the Federation Account.
