The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) yesterday disowned the controversial secret account at J.P. Morgan.

NNPC Group Executive Director (Finance) Mr. Bernard Otti told the joint Senate Committees on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), Appropriation and Finance investigating the management of the fuel subsidy scheme that J. P. Morgan Account was opened by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on its behalf in 2002.

The CBN had earlier told the committee that the secret account was opened and solely managed by the NNPC.


But Otti told the committee that the CBN is the sole signatory to the account.

Finance Minister Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on Monday said distanced her ministry had no hand in the account.

Though Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala told the committee that she is aware of the account, she denied knowledge of its details, including the number.

NNPC Group Managing Director Andrew Yakubu told the committee that the CBN owns the account.

Committee chair Senator Magnus Abe compelled Otti to appear before the committee to clarify the status of the account.

Otti claimed that the CBN operates the account on behalf of NNPC “right from the outset when the account was opened in the United States”.

He said: “The NNPC has no direct contact with the J.P. Morgan account. The account was opened by the CBN on behalf of the NNPC. It was opened in the last quarter of 2002 by the CBN for NNPC.

“The account is operated by NNPC in the CBN. CBN has its correspondent banks to which NNPC isn’t a party. NNPC doesn’t operate that account; NNPC operates domiciliary account with CBN.”

Asked to be definite if the NNPC or the CBN operates the account and whose money is paid into it, Otti said:

“The money paid into the account is crude (oil) money of Nigeria . We are not party to that transaction. Our relationship with the CBN accounts begins and terminates with that account.”

Otti said the CBN is the only signatory, such that the NNPC is not even on the account mandate.

He insisted: “The CBN is the signatory to that account. We have no relationship with J. P. Morgan whatsoever. We are not in the mandate.”

The committee vowed to ensure that accounts not known to the Constitution are closed and all monies paid directly into the Federation Account.

winsh kind one be dis again ? Secret account for who? By who? To who?

This Gej administration has been very revealing. All these secret things have been on for so long but they are been covered up. Now that we are getting to know, people like buhari would start shouting " this govt is the most corrupt" trying to score cheap points.

More revelations pls.

My broda, na so we see am o!
Many murky dealings of the past are now being revealed. God alone knows why anybody would have been running our oil proceeds through a secret account.
What makes this matter most fearful is that both the CBN and NNPC are vigourously disowning it, there must be something really deep and dark crawling about under the covers.

Who knows how many other secret bank accounts there are littering the place? embarassed

You will continue to see GEJ even when you look at your babe; thats what being stup!d and consumed by hatred does to you.
Some of you are daft beyond belief. embarassed

Mofo, the topic is about the CBN amd NNPC running secret accounts from 2002(and likely, before), if all you can see are some id!otic phantom angles, then you've got real and bloody deep problems.
Why do we have to deal with so many fools on NL for goodness sake?! Its become like a plague now!

Considering the fact that Sanusi wasnt there in 2002, why put his picture here?

the logo of the CBN would have been more appropriate.

besides the title is wrong. This would have been more appropriate "NNPC Secret Account Solely Operated By CBN, says NNPC"

This woman is something else. so she knew all these and she didnt tell us while going all over TV stations that Nigeria will crash if subsidy isnt removed and yet there was a secret account somewhere.
Now we know where those funds being used by the killer party for elections are kept. Am sure the executives headed by the retardeen would have never wanted this info in public domain. this is a strictly senate investigation.

it doesnt matter, he met the fraud there and made sure the status quo remained. one thing is certain for sure, the killer party (PDP) has been there far more before then.
Re: NNPC Claims CBN Operates A Secret Account by ifihearam: 10:53am On Jul 05, 2012
But the CBN governor denied knowledge of the account when summoned by the senate and now NNPC has referred the house back to CBN,hmmm there is something fishy here.

One major achievement of GEJ administration is that most means by which successive governments and individuals has ruin this country are being exposed.
What remains now is the will to go after this people and conclusively give each of them their due punishment

What this country needs is a serious revolution. All these bastards ruining this nation should be cut down. But what all our youth does is make jokes out of every revealing secrets affecting the nation and their lives. How long shall we keep quiet when we see the mess this guys are making. I think i see why bakare would not hold his peace. Its not just because he wants cpc to win, but because the level of corruption has reached its peak and its smelling home and abroad. Imagine a taxi driver kicking me out of his cab in malaysia just because he asked where i came from and i mention nigeria. he got furios and yelled at me to get off his cab shouting Corrupt country with corrupt citizens. How long ?
