Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Mele Kolo Kyari, has stated that he has nothing to hide amid his ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.<\/p>\n

The EFCC is probing Kyari over funding for refinery repair works carried out during his tenure.<\/p>\n

The former NNPCL boss presented himself to the EFCC on Wednesday after the anti-graft agency reportedly declared him wanted.<\/p>\n

However, Kyari maintained that he had done his part and that it was left for the EFCC to fulfil its mandate.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this in a statement titled Hard questions, honest answers.<\/p>\n

Kyari said: \u201cI have done my part; the EFCC must do theirs. When each of us does our duty \u2013 without fear of favor, with honour, respect and commitment \u2013 Nigeria moves forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
