Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, yesterday, described as mere fabrication, allegations by her traducers that she spent N10 billion in leasing jets for her use.

The minister, who spoke in an interaction with some senior journalists in Abuja, said she was being framed by her accusers for merely rising up to change the Nigerian oil industry for the benefit of the country.

According to her, the lease of jets to run the highly technical and competitive oil industry is a common practice around the globe, since it is more cost- effective than buying.

The minister said it would have been unwise for anyone to spend N10 billion in leasing jets, an amount which can conveniently buy three new jets depending on the type.

She, however, admitted that although the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, had a jet that was meant for her use, she was advised by aviation experts to sell it off since it was bought and parked abroad for some years, thereby raising safety concerns.

The minister said the hiring of jets for official function was a normal practice which had been in existence since the inception of NNPC and that it was meant to enable the corporation carry out its oversight functions over players in the sector.

[b]She said: “When I started work as minister, there was an oil aircraft but I was advised not to use it because of safety issues and we had to lease some planes for use. I was advised that it was more cost effective to lease planes for our operations.

“Based on what we were advised, and having added the figures, we felt satisfied it was better to be leasing plane for use. For the N10 billion, one can buy three planes. I don’t know how they came about that huge figure ascribed to me. It is unfortunate for some people to just sit down and accuse people without any fact or figure.[/quote]

Describing the allegation of spending the huge amount on private jets as disappointing, Madueke said the NNPC, under her, had been most transparent since its inception, as she had tried to improve the system of corporate governance in accordance with global best practice.

The minister, however, decried the tendency by some Nigerians to bring her down, pointing out that she would not be distracted by such antics since she had a job to do for the country.

On the non-passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, the minister blamed it on several factors, among them, key players in the oil industry and vested political interests in the country.

My skin crawls whenever i hear this woman speak.

Dnt wori..u wil xplain to baba buhari betr

the fear of jail time is the beginning of wisdom, but if these folks really want to apply wisdom they better start investing in the NIGERIAN PRISON SYSTEM because all things being equal i see a lot of people in there for "stealing" sorry "corruption"

I will like to be d efcc chairman under buhari s government ,the likes of okonjo, madueke , oduah will be seriously dealt with

Let God's will be done in Nigeria. Hating on one another won't solve anything




check my signature

Nne, you don't have to waste your time on this crazy allegation. This allegation, Sanusi's $40 allegation, and Oduah's allegations were the test run organized media campaigns PR jobs for APC. There has never been any substance to it, and they knew it, but the practice gave rise to what we have today: a better cordinated campaign than GEJ's.

Madam don't you think it's more appropriate to explain to the national Assembly which you and JEG have been dodging for over a year!
Explaining yourself to journalists is not the same as clearing your name with the NA.
Madam do the needful and oblige the NA

Team Jonathan new campaign strategy - Denial of the highest order. What shameless administration!

Operation Rescue Nigeria - Sai Buhari.

so because someone wrote on a piece of paper she's "a five president" you now hate her with a passion? How did you develop enough hate inside of your soul to be able to point to another person and say you hate them "with a passion"? I'm PDP to the bone but can't name anyone I "hate" in APC just because I'm not a hateful person. You might have a personal issue. Remember you're someone's future father.

as if we are not aware of the countless attacks you've carried out on tinubu. Abeg shift. All you and your tribe does is to defend corrupt public office holders just cos they are your kins.

Ikengawo:

attacking is as a result of hate. Had. It been you used the word criticize, you would have made sense.

a lot of the time I don't only criticize, I attack. This is fine and normal in political election season. I still don't HATE anyone though.

Finally she has been able to find her lost voice after the PWC report.

Oleeeeeeeeee!!!

Why did she refused to appear before the house committee for enquiry to clear herself, liar.

Number 3 in our president ranking, she is even more powerful than the clueless one who is number 5.
In an Organise society that woman should b cooling off in Jail ryt now, but this is Naija were stealing is not corruption!


Shame on PDP!

PD.Pigs, always denying since 1850

Oga Madam said a lot but without actually saying anything. So here are the questions that need answers.

How much was the actual sum she used in leasing jets fot her use?

How much was the NNPC jet sold for? and where is the money?

If her administration is the most transparent since its inception, where is the corporation's audited annual report as demanded by law?

Where is the missing(unaccounted for) $1.48 billion as revealed by PWC report. In fact where is the report itself? Why has it been kept under wraps since it was submitted to the president?

That feeling when you know you are being lied to but you really don't care again because March 28 is very close

Continue Diezanni, I know you haven't been collecting salaries since you started as the Minister sef
