The former vice president said Nigeria's oil and gas firm is yet to be fully privatised, adding that this would continue to promote more corruption in the limited company.

The presidential hopeful promised full privatisation of the company if elected, adding that until the shares of the NNPCL are being traded at the Nigerian stock exchange, corruption would not stop.

The presidential hopeful added that though the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari claimed full commercialisation of the NNPCL, all its shares are still under the government’s control.
