THE GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM COMPANY LIMITED MELE KYARI DENOUNCES ALLEGATIONS ON OWNING MALTA PLANT

The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, has denied allegations of owning a blending plant outside Nigeria.

Kyari stated this on Tuesday, reacting to claims by the President of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, that some officials of the NNPC have blending plants in Malta.

Reacting in a post on his X handle, Kyari said he had been flooded with calls from family members and friends, asking if he truly owns a blending plant in Malta.

Kyari stated that he does not own or operate any business directly or by proxy anywhere in the world with the exception of a local mini agric venture.

He also said he is not aware of any employee of the NNPC, that owns or operates a blending plant in Malta or anywhere else in the world.
