The Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Thursday denied appointing Price WaterHouse Coopers to conduct the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation audit.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Minister on Media, Paul Nwabuikwu, in Abuja.
According to the statement, a group of three accounting firms filed a suit against the minister before a Lagos High Court with the allegation.
The group is alleging that she appointed the global audit firm, PWC, to conduct the recently concluded forensic audit of the NNPC against the provisions of the Local Content Act.
