Hope they will manage the affairs of NNPC very well devoid of looting

They should dischage their duties to the country, not gej

GET

Funny enough, all the former CEOs were all sacked...I wonder why!!?

Anyway, it's time for another man to come chop!!

P.S - when will he have the balls to sack the minister also.

GEJ - Transforming Nigeria since 1792

Long overdue

And the fallout from the un-remmitted money scandal begins.

Hope Jonathan acts like Hercules and clears out the Augean stable that is the NNPC.

Shuooo!
Aah think say the man don kpafuka!
Na from that side him still dey sack?
If I were these people, I will reject the sack order and go to court.
The judiciary is the last hope of the common thief.

How many times would GEJ sack NNPC boss, i have lost count. After each sack, the situation remains the same. Is it not obvious that it is not the NNPC boss that needs sacking but the boss of the NNPC boss.

GEJ is doing everything to pleased the north, perhaps because of 2015.

D GMD NNPC from borno? A state that doesn't even produce groundnut oil?

GEJ should as a matter of urgency sacrifice Deziani at the alter of the masses via TACTICAL suspension
That Twin Tower needs to be spotless

Having a non-Hausa at the helms of affair of NNPC is just too good for me. Andrew Yakubu the erstwhile GMD hailed from Southern Kaduna and now the new GMD is from Borno State (another non-Hausa), Jonathan is indirectly and smartly preparing the stage for a fruitful 2015!

Descartes: GEJ should as a matter of urgency sacrifice Deziani at the alter of the masses via TACTICAL resignation

That would be making a sacrifice to people who want him dead.
No sense doing that.

I know he's not going to sack the 'main boss'. Thought this present minister was there, when GEJ sacked the former directors/ceos and replaced them with these once.

Every fish rots from the head. Don't know why he keeps sacking the tail? Leaving the head. Former education minister, CBN,NPC comes to mind even aviation. Why didn't they get the same treatment.

I suspect, these where the people diezani told GEJ that were giving sanusi information. Or to boost 2015 agenda.My thinking anyway!

.

Descartes: Long overdue

There's nothing long,talk less of overdue until he sacks minister of petroleum to join them.

Ventura1: GEJ is doing everything to pleased the north, perhaps because of 2015.

Rubbish.
The former GMD (Andrew Yabuku) was also a
northerner. The most senior position in the oil and
gas industry (Minster of Petroleum) is held by a
Niger Deltan ( The incompetent Alison-Madueke).
NNPC GMD's are just figure heads.

Good for him. Make him go wack the money wey in don steal.

My Problem with all these Sack and Reshuffling is that they're all politically motivated. The job is kept far away from those who truly merit the Position.


Nigeria go better sha.

Wen will he sack the petrolium minister? Jonathan marginalised yorubas.

meforyou1: D GMD NNPC from borno? A state that doesn't even produce groundnut oil?

Dont worry, the new GMD being from Borno hopes to oversee successful exploration of oil in lake chad.

meforyou1: D GMD NNPC from borno? A state that doesn't even produce groundnut oil?

You should know that these appointments are political

na today?

Finally! How about Dezieni Hallison Madueke?

All we need are:

Transparency,
Good pricing,
Product affordability,

#Great Management!

danot1030: Wen will he sack the petrolium minister? Jonathan marginalised yorubas .

Do you have a proof or the same cheap talk

Unfortunately for GEJ, this latest act only displays how weak he is! Heck when will this man develop the balls to sack deziani?! When?!

hope andrew isnt going with our graduate trainee application of 2 yrs ago

Fresh set of looters

I was watching oil n gas forum on NTA, a programme that x-rays d activities of NNPC. Ds particular episode focused on the former GMD n his visits 2various NNPC SBU's. I told my broda 2look at men wey de chop oil money. Minutes later, I went online seeing d news of his replacement. Ds life is just a pot of egusi soup mehn

Descartes: Hope they will manage the affairs of NNPC very well devoid of looting

With Madueke up there
