The minister made the comment at The Petroleum Club’s quarterly event in Lagos
Lokpobiri , while reacting to recent media statements by SIMBI Wabote, former executive secretary of the Board, dismissed as blatant lies claims that his office requested for an increase on NCDMB budget by N30 billion for the office of the Minister.

In a statement signed by special adviser, Media and Communication, minister Of State For Petroleum Resources(Oil), Nneamaka Okafor, the minister noted that ‘’Our position is that he who alleges must prove the same. So, if Mr. Wabote has proof of such a conversation, he is challenged to provide the same.

‘’Secondly the minister has no aide called Blackson. All his aides were duly selected in line with extant laws and have documents to that effect.

According to the statement ‘’The Minister in his capacity as chairman of the Governing Council stands by his statement at The Petroleum Club’s quarterly event in Lagos, and as journalists I welcome you to visit the places mentioned to verify the allegations for yourself.
