President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with the minister of state for petroleum resources, Ibe Kachikwu, over the latter's allegations of insubordination and humiliation against the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Maikanti Baru.

Daily Trust reports that the minister arrived the president's office at 11:40am.

Kachikwu had alleged that the NNPC boss had repeatedly sidelined and disrespected the board of the national oil firm, which is chaired by the minister of state.

The minister, in a leaked letter, had informed Buhari that against the rules, some over $25bn contracts were never reviewed or discussed with him or the board of NNPC.
