Kachikwu in a letter dated August 30, told the president that the conducts of the NNPC GMD were counter productive to the country’s petroleum sector, Premium Times reports.
“Parastatals in the ministry and all CEOs of these parastatals must be aligned with the policy drive of the ministry to allow the sector register the growth that has eluded it for many years” Kachikwu said.
“To do otherwise or to exempt any of the parastatals would be to emplace a stunted growth for the industry.”
In the letter which emerged on Tuesday, October 3, the minister of state for petroleum said he wrote to Buhari after he was unable to have a one-on-one appointment with the president at the state house.

Meanwhile, embattled former petroleum resources minister, Diezani Alison Madueke, has reportedly pleaded with a Federal High Court sitting Lagos to order the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) to ensure her return to Nigeria.
The former minister said she was ready to stand in court and defend a criminal charge linked to her relating to an alleged laundering of N450 million.
Alison-Madueke, has been in the UK since 2015 when Goodluck Jonathan lost the presidential election to Muhammadu Buhari.
The Punch reports that the major defendants in the charge are Dele Belgore, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and Professor Abubakar Suleiman, a former national planning minister.
