Nigeria's minister of state for
petroleum resources, Ibe Kachikwu, in a letter written to President Muhammadu
Buhari has laid some accusations at the door of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC).
In the letter, Kachikwu accused
Maikanti Baru, general managing director of the NNPC of undermining his office
and dragging the reputation of the corporation in the mud.
It was earlier reported that Dr
Kachikwu expressed displeasure over the leakage to the public a memo he sent to
Buhari.
Below are some of the accusations
he made in the letter:
1.Lack of due process
According to Ibe Kachikwu, Baru
has failed to consult and carry him along in the activities of the corporation.
He also alleged that Baru was already hindering all the envisaged positive
changes for the oil and gas sector.
2. New NNPC appointments
The minister said he was not
consulted in most of the appointments made by Baru. He said he learnt about
them on social media or through press releases.
Kachikwu explained that on one
occasion, he held a meeting with Baru to raise concerns about the appointments
and also wrote a letter to him, but that Baru ignored him by making some
changes without his involvement. He appealed to the president to suspend these
appointments.
3. Contracts awarded without due
process
Kachikwu said against the rules, some major
contracts were never reviewed or discussed with him or the board of NNPC. He
listed some of the contracts as:
The crude Term contracts- value
at over $10bn
The DSDP contracts – value over
$5bn
The AKK pipeline contract- value
approximately $3bn
Various financing allocation
funding contracts with the NOCs- value over $3bn
Various NPDC production service
contracts- value at over $3bn-$4bn
4. Blocks from seeing the president
Ibe Kachikwu also mentioned the fact that
after several attempts he had been unable to meet the Nigerian president to
discuss his concerns.

Ibe I know you were a man of integrity while with Exxonmobil,am not surprise with what is happening with the said Buharik Administration. He has succeed to putting his people in all lucrative positions. I blame the idiots that brought him to power. Please if you tied of this Buharik deception just put your resignation. Allow the Hausa Fulani empire continue. Just a lesson they should learn from Rwanda, this is how it all started. Nigeria is not far from that with the situation in Nigeria today.
ReplyDeleteYou need not be insultive on public fora, one is at liberty to vote whoever he/she likes but calling them idiots is out of it. Be cautious of words used in public. Wish you all the best in your endeavours.
DeleteDr, Cash, I understand your points clearly. Is really difficult to speak without some emotions sometimes when you consider the degree of injustices and greed that goes on in this Country. Am speaking as one in diaspora. You will imagine the degree of pains in some people hearts in Nigeria if they can open their mind and talk.
DeleteWhere are Tinubu, Amaechi, Fashola and Oshiomhole? They are to be held responsible.

ReplyDeleteHahahaha, Ibe should know that he is the mist of hypocrites of the first order! There is absolutely no way on earth, the MD of NNPC can enter into a contract running into billions of Dollars without the consent of Mr President! Mr Kachukwu should know that he is just a mere figure head and can be discarded at anytime. He probably believes that corruption is truly being fought! Hahahaha
