Fresh facts have emerged on how Andrew Yakubu lost his job at the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation.
Andrew Yakubu
Yakubu was relieved of his position as the head of the NNPC in 2014 by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to Premium Times, Yakubu had a major disagreement with then minister of petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The disagreement between the duo was over who to appoint as the Managing Director of Nigerian Petroleum Development Company Limited (NPDC).

Yakubu’s insistence that only someone with technical background was fit to head the NPDC, resulted in a clash of interests with Alison-Madueke, who allegedly engineered his removal by the administration of ex-President Jonathan.
Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recovered $9.8million in cash from a secret bunker owned by Yakubu on Friday, February 3.
In a related development, the EFCC has announced the discovery of a property in Lagos worth a whopping $37.5million totalling N11.75bn which allegedly belongs to former oil minister Alison Diezani-Madueke.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s foremost civic tech organisation, BudgIT has designed an infographic on how the money recovered from Yakubu could be put to good used for the benefit of Nigeria.

Another infographic below designed by Dr Chijioke Kaduru shows what the money recovered can do for Nigeria’s health budget for 2017.
