The committee thereafter, directed the management of the Agency to provide all relevant documents to enable it carry out its assignment effectively.
While addressing the committee the Managing Director Engr. Usman Baba said NETCO dose not receive budgetary allocations from the Federal Government noting that it makes remittances directly to NNPC.
