Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, is mum on the outcome of his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari which held behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The minister who arrived the Presidential Villa around 11.40am for the meeting, left at about 12.50pm.

When asked about the outcome of the meeting, Kachikwu simply said “no comment”.

This is the first one-on-one meeting Buhari will be having with the minister since the letter Kachikwu wrote to the President on the conduct of the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, was made public.

The minister had stated in the letter in which he accused Baru of insubordination among others that he resorted to writing the letter after several unsuccessful attempts to meet the President personally since he returned to the country.
