A statement by the corporation’s spokesman, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, stated that Kyari promised to build on the existing trade relations with Turkish Petroleum.
“We are looking forward to greater cooperation between NNPC and Turkish Petroleum such that we find business in other areas like infrastructure development that both countries will be interested in promoting to the benefit of both countries,” Kyari said.
