President Goodluck Jonathan has assured Nigerians that his government will correct all the lapses in the oil sector after he received the Forensic Audit report on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) from the international auditing firm, Water House.

He explained that the report would help to address the lapses in the oil industry and help the administration to address the misconceptions in the industry.

“Everybody knows that the sector needs to be reformed and I believe that by the time we go through the petroleum industry bill and make it a law, most of these lapses would be corrected and the misconceptions will be properly addressed by the different administrative structures.

“I thank you for what you have done. It will help us, it will help this country to set things right. We will handle it decisively based on the information that we have.

“Based on the preliminary information, Nigerians need not be so scared about the kind of stories that we hear.”

Jonathan then directed the Auditor-General of the Federation, Samuel Ukura, to look into the report and release major findings to the government within the week.

He also told him to liaise with the firm to clear any grey areas in the report.

President Jonathan thanked the audit firm for turning in the report on time and for clarifying the issues in the petroleum ministry.

He observed that both chambers of the National Assembly had delved into the matter in the past; and that with the report, the issue of leakages in the petroleum industry would be laid to rest.

The president said that the kind of figures mentioned in the newspapers “looked so ridiculous”, noting that they were figures that he could not imagine the country earned.

“I am quite pleased that you have taken a forensic audit. I will give it to the professionals, the auditor-general of the federation, so that within the week we will get the key findings,” the president said.

He described the report as “a precious document” which could be used as future reference material to improve operations in the oil industry and for academic purposes.

show solidarity and respect to our soldiers

This Jonathan is a dunce. Jonathan now expects us to believe anything he says on the eve of election. This is the same president who set up tens of committees and did nothing with the recommendations of those committees. Now he expects us to believe this audit report on petroleum will be carried as recommended.

We are not buying any of your promises anymore. It is time to leave. Bye-bye, Jonathan.

Is Niger Delta a country or part of Nigeria?

PDP Team are trying all dosage of Madness to see which of those will shake the up the most. Jonathan there no more straws to cling on. Abeg start packing your load your time is up. After 6yrs, it is now you want to start fighting corruption. Funny Guy.

Sai Buhari/Osinbajo.

And those 6years he was at the helm of affairs what has he done to abate the rot in that sector





Nothing,
He only encourage corruption in that sector and the audit report...........I have lost hope in it when u carry an audit or probe on an organisation where the accused is still heading it instead of her to have being given a leave for the auditor to do a good job. Tell me if there won't be interference from the minister on the report

Does this man have no shame? What did he do with the Ribadu petroleum task force report which gave recommendations to "correct all the lapses in the oil sector"? After the King (GEJ) and the queen of corruption (Allison-Madueke) managed to undermine the work and recommendations of the Ribadu petroleum task force, to the disappointment and condemnation of a shocked world, Jonathan still has the nerve to say this? I would not like to call the President of Nigeria names but his brazen lies and deceitful utterances puts even the most hardened criminal to shame!!!

He reacts based on outburst and condemnation. It took soludo's damning swipe for him to remember that there was an audit they spend millions of dollars on.

This report will go the Ribadu way, inside the wastebin of Aso Rock, except they can doctor it to sooth them. What stop them from publishing it instantly but he is giving it to the Auditor General to try and see if there are things they should remove from the report before giving it to the public.

GEJ forgives those found wanting in the forensic report, says only God can judge them.

Yeah just like DG of SSS handed over the killers of over 100 policemen and DSS officials by ombatse cult members last year.

Useless government.

Indeed. What a joke President. And the pathetic supporters of the ultra-weak GEJ still wonder why Nigerians are clamouring for Buhari who believes passionately in punishing wrongdoers and holding them to account for their actions ?

I am not interested in Jonathan's story, I need justice. Bring perpetrators to book and prepare your handover note.

after the auditor general must have looked into it, a committee will be set up to harmonise its findings and another high powered committee set up look into what the first committee did and more committees to follow while the rot in the oil sector goes on

Mumu raise to power 10

Can jonaTAN bring himself for persecution?

He is neck deep involved in the graft and rot in the NNPC.

I will do President...

President Jonathan has once again proven his precision to do better if voted in for another tenure.He will prove you critics wrong because,he will win Buhari to transform Nigeria to her best state.GEJ for 2015.

What stopped him from proving those precision in the last 5years plus.

Why do you people continue to believe in lies and outright gullibility. What he could not in 6 years, he will do in 4years.

Thanks to God, people who reason like you are in the minority in the country's voting population.
