Former NNPC Boss, Maikanti Baru Is Dead
Mr. Maikanti Baru, the immediate past GMD of the NNPC, is dead.
He died two months before his 61 birthday.
Mr. Baru was replaced by the current GMD of the NNPC, Mr. Mele Kyari, who announced the demise of the deceased.
“My brother, my friend and my mentor, Dr Maikanti Kachalla Baru, immediate past GMD of NNPC died late last night,” Kyari said.
“He was of exemplary character and disposition. May Allah forgive him and have mercy upon him.”
