The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, and the Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr Mikanti Baru, put aside their differences at the 23rd Nigerian Economic Summit.

These two have had an issue with each other after the Minister wrote a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, containing some allegations against the NNPC boss. This letter was leaked to the public, and both men have been at the centre of a scandal.

On Monday, Baru defended himself, saying that Kachikwu’s allegation was baseless.

However, at the 23rd Economic Summit in Abuja on Tuesday, Kachikwu and Baru seemingly set differences aside to put guests at ease by warmly exchanging pleasantries and posing for photos.
