All these ones they retired, they will still use members of their family replace the available slots, as long as we are in Nigeria. Nepotism, senior brother to Tribalism. Kwurruption's kids

Very funny! Provide proof please, that the entire 1,000 people were incompetent. This is one problem with Nigeria. You guys will shout blue murder if the affected people are your kinsmen, but as long as they remain faceless... you really do not care. There is something called professional experience, institutional memory etc. All these will be lost in a single day, because some clowns sat down and decided to lay off 1,000 people in one fell swoop instead of taking time out to conduct a thorough investigation, then gradually phase out those who are not pulling their weight, within the system. A well-structured handover and succession process would then be instituted, as these people gradually wind down, and leave the system. Was that done in this case?? Kindly let us know.

And where are the more competent people that are to be employed? Is it from the pool of unemployed graduates on our shores, that do not even know how to write a single business case or memo??

A man takes over as GMD of NNPC and in just one week decides that the first thing to do, is sack 1,000 people. It is not as if any process was automated, that made these people redundant. It is not that a new process or structure was instituted, that did not require the presence of so many people. It is not as if any major departmental function was outsourced. So what was the criteria used in laying off this huge number of staff?

What is the total number of staff employed by NNPC that would justify laying off 1,000 people? And do they even have enough money to pay off their terminal benefits in a timely manner??

Miranda11:
Laudate it seems ur really aggrieved with the current restructuring going on at NNPC, why is that, are u an employee of NNPC?

Maybe you shld request to have an audience with Ibe Kachikwu and make ur feelings known to him.

laudate:
I said it before, and Kachikwu is proving me right... "the undertakers have arrived."

This man will go down in history, as the one who supervised the demise of NNPC.

The APC and PMB do not know what the republican mole, Ibe, has planned for them. By the time Kachichukwu is through with the NNPC, we will have an American mercantilist dummy corporation which will only take orders sent expressly from Langley, Virginia.

The end justifies the means....

I hope the sackings and downsizing yields a good result

Madam, am not aggrieved with the restructuring, provided it is done in a proper and ethical manner. And am not an official of NNPC, so kindly stop the conjecture.

I do not need to have an audience with Kachikwu to make any feelings known to him. His actions already portray the kind of person he is. Don't forget that "by their fruits, ye shall know them."

My objections have to do with the blind defence of any silly action that any top govt official carries out, in this country.

We are all so quick to hail any action without thinking it through, or looking at the pros and cons of those actions as well as the resultant effects on the system. Yet, when things end up not working properly, we turn round to blame others for the misfortune that arises, from the consequences of such actions.

We cannot keep doing the same thing over and over again, yet keep expecting a different result. Other GMDs have tried this approach in the past and it yielded nothing, but failure! Other parastatals have also embarked on the same course of action in the past, only to end up with greater problems than those which initially existed.

We need to look beyond just the implementation of any action, and research the consequences of such actions on the system, the processes, the staff, the corporation and even the country, itself. There is something called "Change Management," and it is a process that every parastatal fails spectacularly, in this country.

Your GMD has started the process. Let us all wait and see how it turns out in the coming months.

You think it's everybody that has sense? Sometimes it's best to just look at them. This is one of such times.
