Kachikwu writes buhari accuses nnpc gmd of insubordination

It appears you're referring to a news article or a statement made by Ibe Kachikwu, the former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, regarding an alleged insubordination by the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Maikanti Baru.

According to reports, Kachikwu wrote a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari in October 2017, accusing Baru of insubordination and lack of transparency in the management of NNPC. Kachikwu, who was the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources at the time, alleged that Baru had failed to follow due process in the appointment of new NNPC board members and had also ignored his (Kachikwu's) advice on key issues affecting the corporation.

Kachikwu's letter reportedly highlighted several instances of alleged insubordination by Baru, including the GMD's refusal to attend meetings of the NNPC Board of Directors and his failure to provide information on key projects and transactions. Kachikwu also accused Baru of being responsible for the delay in the implementation of the Nigerian Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) and the failure to address the issue of crude oil theft.

The controversy surrounding Kachikwu's letter and Baru's alleged insubordination led to a public spat between the two, with Baru denying many of the allegations made by Kachikwu. The matter was eventually resolved through a meeting between the two parties, during which they agreed to work together to address the issues affecting NNPC.

It's worth noting that the controversy surrounding Kachikwu's letter and Baru's alleged insubordination highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in the management of NNPC and the Nigerian oil industry as a whole.
