NNPC Is Involved In Fuel Subsidy Scam – Ex-Bauchi Gov, Isa Yuguda

A Former Governor of Bauchi State and Former Minister of State for Transportation and Aviation, Isa Yuguda, has alleged that the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited is also involved in the fuel subsidy scam.

Yuguda said while he was the Chairman of the Sub-committee on Subsidy under the Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in 2009, the national oil company paid subsidies on pipelines that were not existing.

Hot News reports that the former governor and former minister made the allegation during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday, June 26, 2023.

Yuguda also claimed that his committee submitted the report to President Jonathan but nothing was done on the investigation made, stressing that President Muhammadu Buhari also failed to act on the issue.

He added that a former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, also hired some chartered accountants to probe the subsidy claims and found out that N2 Billion dollars were spent on fuel subsidies.
