We all know that the NNPC, as we know it, is a cesspool of corruption. But the president cannot act illegally to reform/reorganize the institution. Due process must be followed.

Progress2468:


Your narrow-mindedness won't make you understand that these are not subsidiaries but independent entities which are expected to act as such

Fit2Rule:

You gotta learn to write like a literate and sane creature. Where on earth does a President wake up and "unbundle" a corporation that was established by law? What act is enabling the establishment of these so-called units and subunits? This is a democracy for God's sake. We use laws not decrees! Tell your dear Buhari to get this into his head and wake to governance. Being a Buhari fanatic should not make you display your ignorance and foolishness in public fora. #No offence intended#

Thank you. . . Learn to spell Guinness and then we can proceed.

I stand with Buhari. Thunder faya any wailer that will quote me.

Fit2Rule:

Go back and read again. They aren't subsidiaries. They are new units. The NNPC have been unbundled. These new units are run by CEOs and not just Managers. They are going to operate independently. God help us... If they go through with this, there won't be an NNPC no more. Let's leave politics behind and face the reality of governance. Please take this message to your grandpa PMB

''Maybe'' because he doesnt want dollar to change hand... Cos those beer parlour touts will always want something in return...My opinion though....

mile12crises:
Buhari was a former military Dictator and still Democratic Dictator.

He cannot change.

He has violated Nigeria constitution on different occasions and deserve an impeachment notice to make him seat up.

PMB does not believe in rule of Law. He still have military believe of Head of State instead of President.

God save Naija from Tyrant PMB.

I agree with you but Yar Adua(god bless his memory) didn't have to throw around bags of cash and he nearly always had his way. You remember the famous speech he gave on the floor when they began impeachment proceedings against him? I dare say that was a watershed. Buhari has to be the leader who voted him to be. The instruments and powers of the presidency are enormous. He can't allow some ragamuffins to slow pace him. He has just 3 years left.

Akshow:

Hehehheh you know the word we use for what you just did? We'd say you skedaddled. Rofloool, I understand ur plight my friend. Perhaps you would also ask me to spell 'ur' properly.

Kay17:


The NNPC Act creates NNPC and a Petroleum Inspectorate and grants powers to the corporation in respect to its functions.

The Act did not create subunits or administrative components of NNPC. That automatically gives the executive the discretion to design the corporation operations in a manner which it runs efficiently.

The key questions to ask whether the unbundling act is illegal or unconstitutional;
1. Does the NNPC still exist as a body corporate?
2. Are any of its powers curtailed?
3. Has the NNPC board membership changed?

My answer to all above is no! The NNPC still exists with all its powers and functions. What changed was its administrative units.

Meritocracy:
Welcome idea, its a step to stop the one way failure of NNPC. The senator opposing it should be oil baron, the step is to break the monopoly of NNPC and enhance competition among the units.

introvertedsoul:


Umm nope. . . You are an exceptional case.
Not a bad thing though, you can always say to people " I am special". . . . with a smile on your face.

Try the impeachment joker now and see the reaction. We are waiting

DabELLs:


And what makes you think the first three people on your list are not to be blamed I don't understand why most of these Igbo boys always support criminals.

Opharhe:
In as much as i fully support the overhaul of the NNPC(infact Nigerian as a whole needs overhauling), Buhari did'nt follow the right procedure which is amendment of the act establishing the NNPC first. Do you really think the Senators are working against public(Nigerians) interest? Are the protesting workers not Nigerians too?

Reference:


So if the NNPC can be restructured at the drop of a hat how enduring will these heavenly changes be and will it not be better to pin these changes down with the weight of the law with 170million Nigerians on top of it so that some scoundrel doesn't toss it into the bin tomorrow. At the end of the day it remains the same argument. What Nigeria needs most to develop are strong institutions. Democracy is not a one man show no matter what one's feelings are. The solution to dysfunctional arms is not to relegate them but to develop them because a nation's strength is the weakest link.

Dlionsheart:


But you must understand that NNPC, it's operation is set up by law and the law must be appealed before any restructuring. In a democratic setting all over the world, the law of the land or the constitution is supreme to all and the president is not above the law. The best you can do is to lobby relevant stakeholders like labour, NASS, etc. Let him follow due process and he will have my support
