“There will be no corruption without discretion. We will work with all stakeholders within the NNPC group to ensure there is no discretion in the system.” The GMD added.

Furthermore, Kyari vows to raise the company to a higher standard, “We will build this company to enable it to compete with its global peers. We are not saying we will not make mistakes along the way, but we will not make deliberate mistakes.”

The GMD however expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all quarters involved in the transition.

“I recognise the weight of being a GMD of NNPC group, If anything I know there’s eternal accountability when I will stand before my Creator to give a full account of all my actions.”

To my family members, from today, if you accept any gift from anyone, then it is not from me. So those who want to give my family members gifts, let them know that my family members can never influence me.”

I can’t thank you enough. I will like you to just sit down and tell yourself that you have done the right thing.”

“In the last 3 years, we have made giant strides under Dr Baru
