this is how it starts. they go deny am but behind the scenes, i believe they don ask am to resign. we'll wait a few more days, then you go here that he don resign. adesina too thinks we dey stupid see the trouble he start. now trouble be dis. why he wan do what sanusi did at cbn and claim him be saint?

affable4:
The issue is raising so much dust that I doubt this man will ever survive this. Even if he does, so many questions will be left unanswered. And thus, affects the integrity of the institution.

na true ooo.

Hoephase:
This is a typical example of what happens when you don't keep your affairs in order.

When will Africa learn, soon not only US will dictate what the banks does China will start openly pulling her weight soon given how much indebted Africa is to the Chinese.

If African leaders don't get their houses in order we are going to witness Berlin conference version 2 in our own very life time.

we sell our soul and this is what you get. my only problem with adesina was why he gave his friend Victor Oladokun a 326,000usd contract. just that will nail him. adesina is not stupid. he thinks he dey nigeria wey you can get away with all these things.

pdp get voice now.

tell us more of chinelo and her stay at pencom.

LastProphet:
One thing Adeshina has shown if nothing else is admirable dexterity at manipulating others. Nothing stops him from manipulating that committee that's what the issue is. You said none of the allegations was about money but what about some of the questionable awards of contracts? There were supplies that were flagged by internal control yet he approved their payment. What about engaging Chinelo Amazu who still faces shameful corrupt charges over her time at pencom of which I'm very very informed? ADB doesn't employ such people how did that happen? I have the actual petition that most have not seen and it's worse than the one you refer to. NL has no way of uploading PDFs otherwise would have put it here. Cronyism is one of the worst form of corruption and he's guilty of that one to start with. Nothing has messed this country up like that and we are here defending it. I insiders in ADB say it's worse than the allegations take it from me

hes supporting our institutions

DeepSight:
OBJ's letter is inappropriate as it can be said to be invoking a parallel government of ex presidents.
He should shat da f up and allow the governments in power to respond formally as they are doing already.

i just watch on tv, the board has already decided to investigate this again. if the man is innocent, then nothing to worry.

i'm worried for the contract he gave his friend oladokun. that can really nail him.

was your aunt corrupt?

greatbuc:
This guy that almost made them sack my Aunt in Ministry of Agric... I'm still sitting on fresh pig skin for you. One good turn deserves another

why him too give him friend oladokun contract he think he dey nigeria wey nothing go happen. as much as adesina is a shiny star, he can be nailed for that.

you wan become quick millionaire? join government!

govt asleep again. this one is even worst than bring our girls back!

i know understand what the question says? the govt has open treasury so everyone sees how the govt spends money. perhaps, its meant for us to go and bash the heads of these government millionaires.

slivertongue:
but u agree the report is on what during this administration

i meant it has been ongoing for a long time. we've heard the rumours of nnpc staffs receiving exhorbitant pays. this confirms it.

slivertongue:
"Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) paid over 8 billion as salary upfront in January 2020. This is according to the daily payment data published on the open treasury portal.
The review of salary payments between January and April 2020 showed two descriptions. The first description is January 2020 DPR Staff Salary. This has only five beneficiaries and sums to ₦29.6 million. The second description, which is 2020 DPR Staff Upfront Payment, had 605 beneficiaries and summed to ₦8 billion."

this was most likely before buhari. oil money don dry.

slivertongue:
29 top officials received between ₦50 million and ₦71.7 million as upfront salary payment. Another 30 received between ₦30 million and ₦49.9 million. 51 staff members received between ₦20 million and ₦29.9 million. 119 others received between ₦10 million and ₦19.9 million. The remaining 375 staff members received between ₦5 million and ₦9.9 million.

Go to "Daily payment", and download by year/ and month, you will see staff names there. hehehehehe
See as government staffs dey get millions... they are practically millionaires!!!
while millions of youths are jobless!

I think another government does this, they publish names of staff and their remunerations in the newspapers everytime.

AMvanquish:
Thanks for the open treasury reference but I still insist It was leaked. Open treasury does not specify cadres of staff that are paid, not to mention even calling out a staff name that was paid. Or if you have the link , please send it because I cant find staff names in the above link. Besides all I see are Govt sector based Financial et al.

you work for nnpc or dpr. how can many people be jobless and they still pay others millions in salary every month
its senseless.

PoliticallyInco:
This piece was written out of ignorance and sensationalism.

Global equity when it comes to salary etc. Is a dream. And no time in Nigeria will there be equal pay for all staff of the Government. Not even the oil companies pay themselves the same amount. Even in the USA there is only a minimum wage.

AND WHAT IS WRONG IF SOMEONE EARNS MORE THAN THE PRESIDENT? WHO IS THE PRESIDENT THAT PEOPLE CANT EARN ABOVE HIM IN THE CIVIL SERVICE? SINCE WHEN IS THAT A BENCHMARK? What manner of ignorance is this? Does the president earn hazard allowance? Does he earn shift allowance? Is he under the risk of dying in a helicopter crash every 2 weeks? Is he under the risk of having his survey vessel offshore attacked by pirates and militants?

What is the minimum education requirement to becoming the president of Nigeria? School certificate? As a minimum this won't get you employed into DPR or FIRS, etc.

1. The Oil and Gas Industry has its own salary structure. Try to pay a DPR staff 30 thousand per month and you want him to regulate a Total Staff who is paid 1 million plus? Really?

2. The risk majority of these DPR staff take in doing their jobs. The level of expertise, it is not something you just pay paltry 30 thousand minimum wages for.

3. Also, the financial arrangement DPR is operating under is quite different from those of other MDAs. DPR gets to keep a percentage of whatever it generates. Hence it can do much better than many other MDAs.

4. The revenue that the DPR generates is huge. It keeps surpassing it's target every year. Yes the Federal Government gives DPR a target with respect to revenue.

5. For now the Oil and Gas Industry is most important to Nigeria. Those who work and facilitate this will naturally be paid more and appeased by better perks.

As it stands today let no one deceive others that all Civil Servants Contribute the same. They never have and they never will. Various arms of the Civil Service contribute differently to the growth, revenue and development of the country. We all love to live in fantasies and lies we well ourselves.

it was not leaked. its govt transparency policy: open treasury. see https://opentreasury.gov.ng/
its the only way to catch thiefs

AMvanquish:
The HR Dept in DPR need to find the snitch that leaked this info and have the person dealt with. In Govt circles, this is standard knowledge. DPR have always been well renumerated due to their O & G status.

liar. these salaries are more than what the private firms earn. 71 million a year in dollars is more than 200,000usd
i hear one google engineer for lagos dey get 700,000k a month. thats a private firm.

caleboxylic:
This is poor considering that they generate forex for the country with a risk.

Compare what they pay to them with Total, Nlng etc, you will see they earn less.

Their salaries should be reviewed upward to accommodate the risk they take in regulating our upstream sector.

everyone is there to suck the govt dry !

i am looking at the data. i wan see if i know anyone. i mean for anyone to get 12 million a year. thats 1 million monthly when minimum wage is 30,000 .

it is completely wrong. a survival of the fittest system. the data has many people receiving millions !!! i mean it millions !!! if you work for these mda you will never go broke again!

dey wan do ambode treatment for him

what has obaseki even done? benin floods every time it rains

stop lying. read the article again

It is important to note two things here

1 upfront salary
2. Industry

Upfront salary is some percentage of your annual salary paid to you upfront in January. This is normally 45 to 55% depending on the CBA. Say for instance you earn 400k monthly, your annual salary is 4.8 million. Hence a 55% upfront payment will mean you will get a January salary of 2.6 million (from the 4.8 annual salary) and just 180k for the remainder of the 11 months.

As someone mentioned the energy industry pays high salary on average. If the DPR as a regulator decides to pay less it risk attracting unskilled workforce and losing it's best hands to the oil companies it seeks to regulate. Another thing is poor salaries make them prone to bribery in an industry like oil and energy.

you mean government staffs that make 4 million every month?

Iruosonobrugwhe:
There is nothing wrong here. They earn a lot and it is consistent with the industry they operate it.

we are majority here. paid worm

shut up. you work for dpr

olaNL:
Hmm. Though the money seems quite large, but there are two ways to look at it. You might want to say that the salaries of the DPR staff is on the high side for civil/public servant and the same goes for other high paying public institutions like NNPC, FIRS etc. But you also have to look at the practices of the industry under which the institution operates. The oil industry is known to have high salary benefits to its employees all over the world. So if DPR and similar government agencies decides to pay it's staff what non oil related industry are paying, it will not get required technical manpower to perform it's operations most especially in the top management level and it will generally have a high employee turnover as its staff will port to private oil companies that pays will at any given opputunity.

And the writer of this piece does not understand what upfront payment is. It's an accumulation of benefits that is given once a year and at the beginning of the year and it varies across the seniority level. So it doesn't mean that all the employee got similar upfront some might have gotten more while other got less than what was stated in the article above.

you see how dey dey drain nigeria. treasury money don dry so dey release the records.

staffs that make 1 million a month. directors that make 5 to 6 million every month. the rumours have always been there. and more than 600 staffs. we hear it is even worse in nnpc

is nepotism a crime in a pan-african organisation? he hired the best candidates. we nigerians are better than the other africans.

proof: all past presidents have been francophone or ethiopians, and they foolishly allowed non-africans to run a pan-african bank

tonychristopher:
You think it is Nigeria? Tell that to investigators....

He is nepotistic

giving him friend oladokun contract can nail him! dey call it personal gain. conflict.
well-played by the foreigners to get him out.

Okoroawusa:
What about any one against him without"any weight of evidence "?

What does that person not have?

how am i supposed to know? go ask adesina. he somehow gave the oladokun a 326,000usd contract. of course people go shout! he thinks na nigeria he dey.

otokx:
Is it the same Victor that was doing CBN News and Turning Point?

dont be foolish. this is the trap they've set. they want to destroy his image to prevent him from running for re-election. dont fall for it. act as if nothing as happen'

I am so heartbroken!!!I have always considered this Man as one of the shinning lights of Africa.I seriously pray he pulls through this.
