Abuja - Farouk Ibrahim of NNPC says that some progress has been achieved in the reconciliation meeting between the corporation and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over allegations that 49.8 billion dollars was missing.
Ibrahim, the General Manager (Public Affairs) in NNPC, who said this on Tuesday while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, however, said that meeting was still underway.
