More About NNPC Boss Baru Maikanti’s Trip To India For Surgery

In many ways, Baru Maikanti epitomizes the nature of positive revolt: always at odd with the present, forever evolving. But wait a minute, decay and disease are never beautiful, they bring perfect misery to the fairest of mortals’ imperfect body and soul, like the translucent tear of the shellfish and the hectic glow of high fever. Ask NNPC head honcho, he knows better now. The news of his sickness and his trip to India for proper medical attention some days ago resonated like murderous of a mad mob hounding its prey to sad death. The story caused panic within Nigeria’s socio-economic space.
However, like random malevolent news at the end of its spell, news of his sickness dissipated into thin air to make room for the reality of his existence. Yes, Baru travelled to India for a minor surgery. As you read, he is back on his feet. He is reportedly hale and hearty, would return to the country soon to shame his critics and political detractors. Until his appointment, he was Special Adviser (Upstream) to the Minister of State for Petroleum and was NNPC’s Group Executive Director, Exploration and Production. The Chief Operating Officer, Gas and Power, Mr. Saidu Muhammad, is currently running the NNPC in Baru’s absence.
