The audit report by PriceWaterHouseCoopers on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) accused of diverting the money, was ready in September 2014, Premium Times reports.
Since then the government has repeatedly declined demands to make the document public. But being under the pressure from the public and the All Progressives Congress (APC), the government issued a “highlight” of the report. According to it, the alleged missing $20 billion, exposed by a former Central Bank Governor, Lamido Sanusi, was a farce. It was also concluded that less than $2billion was missing.
With the general election just a couple of weeks ahead, the government has come under increased pressure to publish the full report.
