Muhammad told the News Agency of Nigeria  (NAN) through the telephone that he had not been officially informed of his removal or purported reshuffle in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

“I cannot comment on the rumour of reshuffle. I heard about it but I’ve not received any communication officially.
