According to Kawu, NNPC staff were reported to have diverted over N20bn in the semblance of consultancy fees paid to its consultants.

He regretted that the staff of the company were diverting funds at a time the Federal Government was trying to fight corruption and harness resources for infrastructure development.

Kawu said that it is an “unwholesome practice” that affects the fortunes of the country if not checked.
