The Group General Manager, Information and Technology Division, Mr Danladi Inuwa, represented by General Manager Applications, Mr Kunle Osobu, said the exercise was geared towards having electronic copies of all NNPC documents in line with global best practices.
”I am happy that there is much show of interest in this process.
