I laughed at the bolded. As if we don't know how things work in Nigeria. What if the people responsible for the wrong doing or illegal activities are the same people in authourity?

hinwazaka:
Whistleblower: noun/ a person who informs people in authority or the public that the company they work for is doing something wrong or illegal.
Mr Kolade, why didn't you make your knowledge of the illegality of the committee's affairs known to the public, while you were still in service of the committee. Also, it won't be too much to ask, of you to show DOCUMENTATIVE evidence, of the corrupt and illegal activities perpetuated by elements of the committee.
Mr Kolade, you were compelled to resign, because of your kleptomaniac behaviour, but because of your "good name" the government kept this quiet.

PassingShot:
Watch the wailers either avoid this thread or spin the news.

It's their way, anyway.

menix:
So y re we hearing this now..

All this liars painting sef saints after they lost out is jst crazy.

bigtt76:
If only you knew who Dr. Christopher Kolade was you won't be spewing out these wrong facts

jaybee3:

Yet he resigned citing a completely different reason?

Why didn't he simply go via the whistle blowing route instead of flogging an already dead horse?

Segadem:
He's not as dat corrupt but he surrounded himself with corrupt people which make it difficult for people to separate his water (gej) from their sour palm wine (corrupt people)

Is it the same Mr. Kolade, who almost ran Cadbury Nigeria into the ground. If it is the same individual, then I do know him

Former chairman of the Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme, Christopher Kolade, on Monday, said he resigned his position in 2013 because its operations were becoming tainted with corruption and politics, thereby losing its credibility.
He said some officials of the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan were practising “something that was lower than the transparency”, expected of an interventionist agency like SURE-P‎.

He said he met resistance when he raised the issues as he was overruled by some powerful forces within the administration.
He spoke on Channels Television Programme, “Views From The Top” anchored by Modele Sarafa-Yusuf.
Mr. Kolade, 83, quit his position as chairman of SURE-P in November 2013, citing advanced age at the time.
He said having attained 80 years, he wanted to slow on energy-demanding activities.
“I explained in the letter (to the president) that having done this SURE-P programme for two years and because within the next month I would be clocking 81, I am giving up some activities that take my energy,” he said.

The former Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom was appointed head of the SURE-P in February 2012 by Mr. Jonathan, after nationwide protests following the hike in the prices of petroleum products.
The SURE-P was mandated to convert saved fuel subsidy money into jobs, roads and other people-oriented programmes.
The media had speculated in 2013 that Mr. Kolade resigned due to corruption at the agency.
Speaking on the TV programme, Mr. Kolade said he left his position because “he realized that some of the values and standards agreed on in the beginning had become diluted”.

He said he found out that some of the decisions the agency was making did not meet up with the standard they had set it up for.
“The government realized people would not believe what they were saying,” Mr. Kolade said.
“And the President said ‘we need to gain credibility with the people in this programme. So we believe that if you and your committee can manage this thing transparently in accordance with what we agreed, then that credibility will be there’.

“Now that’s fine. But when I discovered that there were individuals in the system that were practicing something that was lower than the transparency that we went in with, I raised the issues. And I discovered that political affiliations and things made this difficult.”
The former SURE-P boss cited an instance when the agency decided to employ 5000 youth from every state of the federation.
According to him, when it commenced the process it was told the arrangement it adopted was not acceptable.

He said, “We started by saying that we would offer employment to 5000 youths from every state. Of course if you are sitting in Abuja, and you want to identify 5000 youths in all the states, it is difficult unless you involve people who are on the spot.
“Now, it was the feeling of our committee, led by me, that to identify people in the states, we needed people who were political neutral. In other words, get civil servants to go in there and say according to the criteria you‘ve agreed, these are the 5000 youths from this state. But we were told that would not be acceptable.

“So something was set up called State Implementation Committees made up mainly of people with political affiliations with one party or the other. When that was brought into play, I pointed out that I feared this would politicize what we were trying to do. And that therefore I felt we should take politicians out of this. But I was overruled by those who had the power to overrule me.

“And then, it started happening. I got complaints from Abia state, from Ekiti state that many of the youths being recruited into the programme were supporters of party A or party B and I went back, and said what I suspected is beginning to happen.
“So we need to kill this thing right away and go back to what we agreed. Now, somehow, we couldn’t do that. And for me, if you destroy the foundation on which you are setting up something like that, if you feel that credibility is the key to success in this thing, and then you undermine credibility by politicizing the issues, you are shooting yourself on the foot. And I’m not very good at shooting in the foot because I find out I can’t walk very well after that.”

You are wrong Bunmi Oni ruined Cadbury not Christopher Kolade




Be guided

hinwazaka:
Whistleblower : noun(used especially in newspapers) a person who informs people in authority or the public that the company they work for is doing something wrong or illegal.
Mr Kolade, you should have made this information known, while you were still in service of the committee
Mr. Kolade, you developed itchy fingers while still in the committee, and were then compelled to resign, but the government out of respect for your long meritorious service to the nation, kept it from the public. But now Mr Kolade you are abusing that privilege.

hinwazaka:

Did you not read my post or you failed to comprehend. I indicated that he ALMOST ran into the ground. And also, do your research well. The downside of Cadbury Nigeria, started with the management headed by Christopher Kolade.

IbokUtoroh:
