Jonathan receives long-awaited audit report on missing $20bn oil money


PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday, received the report of the forensic investigation he ordered into the accounts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Jonathan had ordered the investigation in March last year, following allegations of missing funds from the corporation’s accounts made by former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and now Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi.
The firm engaged for the job, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, has concluded its assignment and, led by its country Senior Partner, Uyi Akpata, presented its report to the president at the State House, Abuja, with Jonathan promising that he would get experts to look at it as quickly as possible.
Akpata told the president that “it is a privilege for us to have carried this exercise out on behalf of the government and I hope that you will find this report useful.”
Receiving the voluminous document, President Jonathan acknowledged the controversy which surrounded the accounts of the NNPC, saying that Nigerians were eager to know the exact position.
