Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has disclosed that he will privatize parts of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) if elected President in the 2019 general election.
He regretted that the NNPC has been “beset by decades of mismanagement”.
Speaking with Reuters, the Waziri Adamawa also disclosed that he will allow the Naira to float, in order to attract more foreign investments.
Said he: “I am a strong believer in very small government, and also the private sector.
“I am also going to expand it to include the oil and gas sector which have not been touched at all and other major sectors of the economy like mining and solid minerals.
“I will allow the Naira to float because I believe that is one of the ways foreign direct investments can be encouraged to come in.”
