Group General Manager, Corporate Affairs of NNPC RESIGN

By Olu Ojedokun, Ph.D.

Dr Levi Ajuonuma ( Group General Manager, Corporate Affairs of NNPC):

"I have followed the subsidy debate/protest and must confess that we at NNPC have not helped in the fight against corruption. I can authoritatively say that the N1.3trillion is not the true figure but given as a result of the corrupt tendencies of the cabal. This astronomical increase in 2011 was purely political. Also, our local consumption figure as published is absolutely incorrect.

For the sake of my children and children's children, we must investigate this fraud. From PPPRA, to NNPC, Independent Marketers, Port Authorities, retired Generals and Other top government officials. Although, the whole fraud existed before 2007, the reasonable take off should be 2007 to date.

Consequently, I have decided to resign my appointment as the Group General Manager, Corporate Affairs of NNPC."

Mba! as much as I'd love to this to be true, I simply can't afford that luxury at this time, what with the barrage alleged resignations we have almost unceasingly been assailed with.

Fist NOI, she denied. Then Abati, he denied. Now this?

all those expecting a reversion to the old price are obviously living in a fools paradise.

If indeed the govt was going to revert to N65, do you they would invite labour in the first place? Think about it!!! That would give all the glory to labour and make them heroes! And it would make govt look weak § incapable. Trust me, thats the last thing govt wants.

The best we can hope for is some sort of compromise, say N80 - N100.

Though to be honest, i'm not very optimistic.

My thoughts exactly. I'm tempted the invitation is simply a means to buy the labour guys over.

Tee hee! I'm not sure I want to angry this morning, so I'll pass the offer. But seroiusly, are you guys still wasting time with NTA?

Where Channels jare!

its funny that the most compelling justification so far the bloated subsidy bill of the prevoius year has come not from Okonji Iweala, Sanusi or Allison-Maduake, but from a NLder!!!

@OP, not bad

na wa o!

I keep on inssisting, my distrust and dislike of his administration nothwithstanding, that the impeachment of GEJ at this point will serve no useful purpose. Not least because the possible replacemnts are unlikely to fare any better.

Impeachment of the entire PDP is a more appealing, albeit not feasible, proposal.

make we just manage GEJ till 2015.

AS for the move by the Senate, lets face it: anything to deflect heat away from themselves and thier violation of our treasury will be on the table--even if it means taking the executive head on. I commend them all the same.

All those calling for a breakup of the country. . .be careful of what you wish for. that's all I can say.

what are thier prices?

interesting. . .

Its not all those involved in the protest that oppose the removal of fuel subsidy (being one, I should know). Most of us agree the subsidy encouraged corruption, benefited an esoteric ''cabal'', and really made no meaningful impact on the common man.

Indeed, only an enemy of Nigeria would support the continuation of the subsidy ad infinitum.

The grouse, as I'm aware, has to do with the palpable--and indeed justifiable--skepticism regarding the commitment of this present administration to ensure a judicious utilization of the funds touted be saved from the subsidy.

The Nation editorial (09/01/2012) captured neatly:

It would have been easy to convince Nigerians with records of his achievements on roads and other national challenges if he had done tangible things before now. As a matter of fact, those are what should be speaking for him today, instead of trying to labour in vain to convince a people who have made up their minds as to how far they know he can deliver democratic dividend. To the extent that the President is just waking up to these realities, Nigerians should be wary of his promises. [size=13pt]He has no such antecedent to make us entrust him with such spectacular performance that he is promising.[/size]

LEXYLOV:
The situation surround this boy death still unclear to me. Is he trying to enter no going area alone or they are just protesting nearby and suddenly a bullet from no where kills only him    It look very different compare to cases of yesterday.

that's the point. its still unclear to a lot of people, and I suggest that until we get verification of what actually transpired it might not be a bad idea for us to exercise some restraint in our utterances.

*sigh*

I heard the interview myself on BBC network Africa this morning. His analysis on the BH crisis was quite revealing.

Its noteworthy that the playwright said he still believes in the ''Nigerian project''--as he calls it.

Has been any independent verification? I called folks back home and it seems the story is not as straightforward as OP claims.

Pls my fellow NLders, be careful with the way you carry stories. "THEM SAY''

No, he should not. All those next in line: Sambo, Mark, Tambuwal, ??, are unlikely to fare any better.

The entire PDP machinery resigning would have been a more appealing option, but since that is unlikely to occur, the grim reality is that we are stuck with GEJ till 2015.

NLders funny sha. . .

there is almost unanimous agreement that the subsidy had to go. it was killing the economy, we agree.

the issue, as far as I'm concerned is not even the much touted ''palliatives'' or the timing, but how transparent the utilization of the proceeds will be, given the not too encouraging spending habits of this administration.

take good look at the budjet for this year. it will give you an idea why Nigerians are skeptical

I agree GEJ may not have ''dragged Nigeria into poverty'' --the title carries just a little bit too much sentiment.

There is however, serious questions this administration has to answer regarding its financial prudence and transparency,  some of which were raised by Fani kayode:


   questionable increase of subsidy from 300b to 1.3t in just a year.

   depletion of foreign reserve from $80b to $33b

   depletion of ECA of about $20b

i   incurring debt of about $30b

   N114b from so called ''stabilization account in about 8 months.[/li]


We are not accusing him of stealing anything. He should just and explain, with facts and figures, what the above money, totaling close to N15trliion was used for, that's all.

Until then, how does he expect us to trust him with the purported savings of the fuel subsidy removal, which we all agree had to go?

ehie:
whats all this fruitless debate we have become saddled with on nairaland.u say failure i say not.its done and over with.the thing is that we have been waitin for things to change and u being your ogar eye and ears only come here to incite,demoralise and lie to us.
What more do u want from us.u kill us,steal from us,destroy us and divide us,what wrong have the nigerian pple done to u that you inflict us daily with grievances.
We have supported u guys,prayed 4 u in churches and mosques that GOD would touch your hearts
u arent satisfied till u c us in rags?is that it?
We are not askn 4 schools,healthcare,justice,or jobs.we are askn that u let us manage our lives because we are rock bottom.just leave us the way u came and met us if u have no intention of helpn us

apparently 'they' are not . .
