President Buhari chooses self as Petroleum Minister

President Buhari while tending to some select journalists in New York on Tuesday, in the wake of tending to a Global Leaders' Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism, he will remain the Minister of Petroleum.

He said the stride is being taken as a component of endeavors to clean Nigeria's oil industry which is said to be tormented by defilement, enormous extortion, and unrefined petroleum robbery.

He said:

"I will stay Minister of Petroleum.

"I will designate a priest of State for Petroleum".

Buhari restated his determination to clean Nigeria's oil industry and free it from defilement and make more straightforwardness.

He said that his initial phase in sterilizing the petroleum part has as of now started with the arrangement of another administration for the NNPC and said that the arraignment of the individuals who abused NNPC's stores is as of now in progress.

Buhari, who took office toward the end of May promising to battle debasement, has made it clear he needs to upgrade the oil part in Africa's greatest economy, which furnishes the legislature with around 70% of its income.
