One thing I surely know about we Nigerians is that once a story comes up and its what we love, we believe it hook line and sinker...however, when it doesn't suit our narrative, we argue over it endlessly.

The crisis between Baru and Kachickwu has to do with ego between the two. When Kachickwu was the GMD and the State Min of Petroleum the first thing he did was to move Baru away to a position where he became irrelevant.

For some of you who have followed the story truthfully, you will know that Baru being the most senior then had hoped Buhari will make him the GMD but Buhari opted for Kachickwu an outsider instead and that affected Baru psychologically. As God will have it, Kachickwu usoped his power as GMD and state Min of petroleum by Raising memos as GMD and he could easily make PMB agree and sign without much eagle eyes Orr challenge.

Kachickwu had given so much contracts to his cronies and appointed into key positions his people to ease his runs but over time, it was clear that Buhari was silently allowing for the creation of another Diezieni and that was put to a halt by appointing Baru as GMD.

I don't have to explain how it would when you humiliate a person and suddenly he is back where he out to be.

Sadly to Kachickwu, KARMA is what has come to greet him.

Lunatic and foolish Igbos like you two are who should be denied access to the internet. Was Kachi not enjoying the right to issue contact worth billions when he doubled as the GMD NNPC & minister of state ?

Why have you both gone mad just because another man was appointed to head the same office or you mean Baru should be GMD NNPC but Kachie should continue issuing contracts ba ? Senseless Igbos everywhere.

The GMD said both the NNPC Act and Public Procurement Act vested procurement powers on the NNPC Tenders Board, the President and the Federal Executive Council (FEC) depending on the cost threshold, stressing that the NNPC Board had no role whatsoever in the process.

“I know for those of you who are following what we are doing here, you know that there’s no money lost and no process has been breached. Our contracting process is perfect and we will continue to follow the process. The NNPC Board has no role, I repeat, has no role as far as the contracting process is concerned”, Dr. Baru emphasized, adding that the NNPC Tenders Board was made up of the GMD as Chairman and the Group Executive Directors as members.

On the crude term contract and the DSDP agreements, he explained: “These are not contract as such, they are essentially pre-qualification of off-takers of crude oil and in the case of DSDP, of those that will take crude and give us products in return. So there is no value to them. But humongous figures have been put forward mainly to incite the public, it is most unfortunate”.

On the allegation of lop-sided promotions, the GMD asked the union leaders if their members felt disenchanted to which the unionists chorused a resounding “no”.

FOR THE UNIONS TO COME OUT IN SUPPORT OF GMD IS VERY TROUBLESOME.

THERE ARE SUPPOSED LAID DOWN PROCEDURES, RULES AND GUIDE LINES IN AWARDING CONTRACTS. WHERE THESE CONTRACTS ADVERTISED IN ANY NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS, RADIO ETC. WAS THERE ANY OVERSIGHT WHO ARE THE CONTRACTORS THAT WON THESE CONTRACTS WAS THE COST EFFECTIVE, VALUE FOR MONEY
WAS DUE PROCESS FOLLOWED

THESE ARE FUNDAMENTAL NATIONAL ISSUES THE UNIONS ARE TOYING WITH, INSTEAD OF BRINGING BOTH PARTIES FOR AMIABLE SETTLEMENT TO SAVE THE CORPORATION.

MAY GOD HELP AND BLESSED NIGERIA

Haha what is funny is that some illiterates are rejoicing at this news and sees it as a blow to the Igbos.

We really have a long way to go in this country.

say what at the bolded. He has not brought a single investor till date to the industry. Prove me wrong, instead investors are fleeing from oil and gas operations, including Nigerian banks. The have zero confidence in his ministry and his person

CeterisXVII:
What was Kachikwu before? Was he Fulani?

kn23h:
Ibos always trying to use "they hate us" to justify their horrible terrible political styles and incompetency.

If you suck, you suck. Even Patience Jonathan still had supporters.

I remember that useless Onyeka Onwelu woman claiming they fired her because she's a flat head.

jayson87:
The beginning of the end for Cashewkwu. When i said Deziani did a better job in that ministry compared to Buahri and Cashewkwu combined, some hilarious ignoramuses opened their mouths to say ome sh**t to me. PEGASSAN and NUPENG supporting Baru, Mr cashew definitely knows how powerful these two groups are in the oil indusrty

How far where are all the senseless Igbo/Ipob making unwarranted noise up & down since morning. I knew the Kachi dude was up to no good but nonetheless Buhari should vacate the office of minister for competent hand. If he like promote Kachie or bring is illiterate abokis again. Whenever a Southerner is elected president they should prove they have balls and appoint 90% southerner in all sphere of governance n give all the northerners crumbs as well. [/b]If they like let them introduce boko world to destroy the entire north ko kan aye.

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), have pledged unalloyed support for the transformation stride of the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru.

Speaking during a solidarity visit to the GMD, National President of PENGASSAN, Comrade Francis Johnson, said the unions and their members considered it appropriate to rally round the GMD and the NNPC Management to pledge their support.

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/PENGASSAN-NUPENG-Pledge-Support-for-Baru-Photos.jpg

Comrade Johnson said the unions’ support for the GMD was based on his ability to walk his talk since assuming office last year.

“The National body of PENGASSAN and all the NNPC in-house unions are here today to show our support for you. You have brought stability to the NNPC and we are happy today that staff morale is high. You were Chairman of NNPC Anti-Corruption Committee for over five years and that was what informed your appointment as GMD of NNPC. Today, all the bullets you are taking are on behalf of members of staff. We will continue to pray for you, God will continue to guide and shield you,” Comrade Johnson assured.

The PENGASSAN President called on Nigerians to be cautious of their comments on the controversy, adding that any wrong information was capable of discouraging investors from the oil and gas industry which is the highest foreign exchange earner.

The unions’ visit came on the heels of the recent controversies over a letter the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu forwarded to the President alleging non-adherence to due process by the Management of NNPC in some contract administration.

The NNPC Group Chairman of PENGASSAN, Comrade Sale Abdullahi, who also spoke during the visit to the GMD, stated that their concern had to do with the need to protect not only the GMD but the NNPC as an institution.

https://news.assure.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/PENGASSAN-NUPENG-Pledge-Support-for-Baru-Photos2.jpg

He noted that Dr. Baru had streamlined the processes and procedures in the Corporation leading to the full restructuring which was beginning to yield positive results.

“Today, the GMD and NNPC Management receive inputs from staff and this gesture by Dr. Baru has given members of staff a sense of belonging. Today, our inputs are being implemented and we are highly motivated,” Comrade Abdullahi stated.

Supporting these positions, the Group Chairman of NNPC NUPENG, Comrade Udofia Odudu Benjamin, said the unions would continue to pray for divine guidance for Dr. Baru and the entire NNPC management

Earlier, the Chairman of NNPC Corporate Headquarters Chapter of PENGASSAN, Comrade Mathew Duru, reiterated the continued support of the unions for the Dr. Baru-led management.

“We just want to tell the GMD from the bottom of our hearts that we are with him and the Top Management; that we are behind the GMD who has done very well in turning the fortunes of the Corporation around”, the union leader stated.

He said since Dr. Baru assumed office, he had succeeded in clearing the air of uncertainty that prevailed in the corporation because of visionless reforms that left NNPC on the brink of collapse.

He also said the GMD succeeded in resolving the NNPC Pension challenge that had led to disenchantment among staff. “We are with you. We want to let you know that you are not an orphan”, Mr. Matthew emphasized.

Responding, Dr. Baru dismissed the allegations of award of contracts without regard to due process as unfounded and unfortunate. He explained that as a former chairman of the NNPC Anti-Corruption Committee, he would be the last person to breach the procurement process by disregarding extant laws and rules.

The GMD said both the NNPC Act and Public Procurement Act vested procurement powers on the NNPC Tenders Board, the President and the Federal Executive Council (FEC) depending on the cost threshold, stressing that the NNPC Board had no role whatsoever in the process.

“I know for those of you who are following what we are doing here, you know that there’s no money lost and no process has been breached. Our contracting process is perfect and we will continue to follow the process. The NNPC Board has no role, I repeat, has no role as far as the contracting process is concerned”, Dr. Baru emphasized, adding that the NNPC Tenders Board was made up of the GMD as Chairman and the Group Executive Directors as members.

On the crude term contract and the DSDP agreements, he explained: “These are not contract as such, they are essentially pre-qualification of off-takers of crude oil and in the case of DSDP, of those that will take crude and give us products in return. So there is no value to them. But humongous figures have been put forward mainly to incite the public, it is most unfortunate”.

On the allegation of lop-sided promotions, the GMD asked the union leaders if their members felt disenchanted to which the unionists chorused a resounding “no”.

He urged the union leaders to enlighten their members on the facts and encourage them to go about their duties without distraction.

Throwback:
All you have stated was done and all approvals came from the expected authority.


OK: THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION, PLEASE KINDLY MADE REFERENCE TO THE DATES, MONTH AND THE YEAR THOSE CONTRACT WHERE ADVERTISED! TO INFORMED THE PUBLIC, NEWSPAPERS, RADIO?

Kachikwu did not read the rule book to understand what powers the NNPC board had versus what powers the NNPC tenders board had.

Baru has brought out facts to disprove all of Kachikwu's allegations, without whining that someone hates him becau
se of his religion or tribe.

Throwback:
The information you seek was already reported yesterday.

"The Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday ordered the permanent forfeiture of 56 houses linked to a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.

The houses, located in Lagos and Port Harcourt, were said to have been acquired by the ex-minister between 2011 and 2013 using front companies.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission claimed that Diezani paid $21,982,224 for the properties, adding that it believed that the funds were proceeds of crime."
