The minister arrived at the Presidential Villa around 11:40am on Friday, October 6, 2017, to discuss the contents of the letter where he made allegations against the Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru.
In the letter he wrote to the president, who is also the Minister of Petroleum, Kachikwu said he considered it important to call the attention of the president to his concerns about Baru because they're capable of hindering progress in the petroleum sector.
In the letter dated August 30, 2017, Kachikwu had also complained about how attempts to book an appointment with the president had failed.

The meeting was reported to be taking place yesterday, but there was no official confirmation that it happened.
On Wednesday, October 4, the Senate set up an ad-hoc committee chaired by former Sokoto state governor, Aliyu Wammako, to investigate Dr. Baru in light of the allegations.
