Nigeria's Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Ibe Kachikwu and Maikanti Baru, the Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, on Tuesday put aside their differences and exchanged pleasantries at the ongoing Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja.
According to reports, Baru, a lead discussant at one of the sessions, arrived first while Kachikwu walked in about 15 minutes later. As soon as the Minister of State entered, Baru stood, approached him and exchanged pleasantries.
Kachikwu also offered that he be represented at the second session of the dialogue by Baru, a request the organisers politely declined, because Baru was to chair a session and it would affect his participation.
However, Kachikwu left before the end of the programme and Baru represented him.
