The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN has warned Nigerian politicians not to politicise the issue it raised accusing the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, of not remitting the sum of $49.8billion, representing 76 per cent of the total crude oil revenues from January 2012 to July 2013. In a statement, the Director, Corporate Communications, CBN, Mr. Ugochukwu Okoroafor, said: “The attention of the CBN has been drawn to an emerging public discourse around a letter purportedly written by the Governor to His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republc of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, expressing concerns over non-remittance of oil revenues by the NNPC. He added that the CBN will neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a letter and considers any discussion by it on the alleged letter to be inappropriate.” The NNPC had, however, refuted the claim made by the CBN Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
