Nigeria's $10.8 billion


Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala recently joined the call for NNPC to give an account on the $10.8 billion it owed the government. NNPC owes Nigerians more explanation than just stating that it was used for operational costs. They should be more transparent and accountable. It should give a detailed breakdown of the ‘operational costs’ and widely disseminate this information for Nigerians to know. NNPC should start being accountable to Nigerians.
