“I know for those of you who are following what we are doing here, you know that there’s no money lost and no process has been breached.

“The case of DSDP, is of those that will take crude and give us products in return. So there is no value to them. But humongous figures have been put forward mainly to incite the public, it is most unfortunate.”

Meanwhile, Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) have pledged their support to Mr. Baru and the NNPC Management.
