Snipes009:
Now that Buhari has given them one of the juicest appointment, I expect "more" wailing....

This appointment worth more than 10 of the "Hausa" ones.

Dr. Kachikwu, from Delta State, is a First Class Graduate of Law from the University of Nigeria Nsukka and the Nigerian Law School, where he was best graduand and multiple awards winner in both Institutions. He also has a Masters and Doctorate Degree in Law from Harvard Law School USA, with distinctions.

America must know has worked here.... he is obvious more of American than an Igbo man , But for sure he is a Technocrat

laudate:
What NNPC needs at this time is a seasoned petroleum engineer with commercial aptitude, that can think outside the box.

All other contemporaries of NNPC like PedeVesa of Venezuela, PetroBrass of Brazil, Q8 of Kuwait, Statoil of Norway, Saudi Aramco, Sinopec of China, etc, have all added value to their countries, by actively buying out oil-related assets around the globe to increase the foreign exchange earning capability of their companies/countries, increasing local refining capacity on their home turf while remaining good examples of well-run commercial enterprises.

Such an engineer should drive the establishment of modular refineries to increase refining capacity at home, while pushing for the successful rehabilitation of existing ones using local expertise, as was done recently. Such an engineer should also place premium on the exploitation and commercialisation of our gas reserves in country, to drive the Gas-To-Power Programme and other such programmes.

Would a corporate lawyer be able to balance all these? I strongly doubt if Kachikwu has expertise in this area.

abagoro:


His name sounds more Ikwerre. All the same we are one.

ITbomb:
Is he Delta Igbo?

kaycid77:


Finally a technocrat ..... I still dey look baba with one eye

GstringAngela:
Ibos do not need appointments in Nigeria. They need Biafra, give them Biafra, deport them back to Biafra

ITbomb:
Is he Delta Igbo?

He is from the North abi

Eluala:


My brother your head dey there. You know to the uninitiated, once you are in oil industry automatically you can occupy any position. This like deja vu. Exactly the sentiments some of us expressed when the immediate past minister was appointed on account of being a director of external affairs at Shell. An architect by training who never even got involved in managing any oil and gas delivery or related project or facility. Now Baba has brought a lawyer, whose broad based understanding of the industry is at best limited. What is wrong with these people really?

Is like appointing a lawyer, who had a long career working in health institution as Chief Medical Director of a hospital. No doubt he is a technocrat, but is he fit for the job....i seriously doubt. Too bad really.

janus05:
Neo-colonialism at play. Instead of Buhari accepting a candidate from Amechi or Tinubu for the oil job, he took an American from ExxonMobil. USA is gradually encircling Nigeria. China with all their goodies will soon leave.

GstringAngela:
No

he is an Osu Ibo

kokoA:
Sai Baba! Finally, a technocrat for NNPC top job after a long while.

Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu - Ibo man... this shows Buhari/APC is not going to marginalize the Ibos.

With this, our Igbo brothers will relax and let the Buhari's government be.
