Our attention has been drawn to the above report which was published by two daily Newspapers (Peoples Daily and Newswatch Times) on their front pages of Friday the 18th December, 2015.
The report which was purportedly attributed to the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu at a Town Hall meeting in Abuja stating that the Federal Government had given approval to the Minister to ‘’sack 1,100 staff’’ is as misleading as it is mischievous and a complete misrepresentation of facts.
For the avoidance of doubt, what the Honourable Minister said at the meeting was that ‘’as part of the reorganization programme of the corporation, half of the over 2,200 staff presently at the corporate headquarters would be redeployed to the subsidiaries with a view to making them more effective.’’
It is therefore curious for such reputable
newspapers to turn the facts of an otherwise
clear and unambiguous statement on its head.
While we don’t want to join issues with any
section of the media, we hereby advise that your correspondents should always feel free to contact the office of the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, (GGM,GPAD) for clarification on any issue they are not clear with.

i dnt know y many ppl find it to understand simple english construction or they dnt even bother to read b4 jumping to horrific conclusions/ headlines.
Dnt mind dat OP/source wit dat bastardized head line 'NNPC to sack staff'. Jst cool down and re-read d story/epistle behind d title, u will see were he said half of d staff strenght in HQ (abuja) will be posted to other branches/depots(kaduna, warri, PH) for more productivity.
