NNPC Reacts As Nigerians Condemn Appointments Of ‘only Northerners’ by Faithful4real(op): 4:31pm On May 25, 2020
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) says its appointments always adhere to the principle of transparency and accountability.

Kennie Obateru, NNPC said this in a statement Sunday.

The corporation in March disengaged some of its staff and appointed new top management officials.

This triggered criticisms from Nigerians, Niger Delta leaders and groups.

But the corporation is insisting that federal character was also a factor in the progression of the newly appointees.

It said many top management officers of the corporation were moved to new positions, while some were promoted based on their verifiable track records of performance.

Obateru said some “Chief Operating Officers, Group General Managers and Managing Directors of subsidiaries were affected in what some industry analysts described as the most objective placement exercise in the recent history of the National Oil Company”.

He noted that the changes saw the re-deployment of the erstwhile COO, Upstream, Roland Ewubare, to the Ventures and Business Development Directorate as COO.

NNPC said Ewubare’s position as COO Upstream was taken over by Adeyemi Adetunji, erstwhile COO in charge of Downstream directorate.

It added that Lawrencia Ndupu, redeployed to the Downstream, is a Physicist and renowned explorationist that has held many key positions.

Bala Wunti, the erstwhile MD of the Petroleum Products Marketing Company was appointed as the new GGM of the National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS).

The statement added that Lawal Sade, the new MD of the NNPC Trading Company, was the MD of NIDAS, a shipping arm of the company.

Then spokesman said the exercise retained Adokiye Tombomieye, from the South-South, as GGM, Crude Oil Marketing.

NNPC explained that the new appointments depicted a leadership determined to ensure placement of square pegs in square holes

What are Abo-kis doing in NNPC
Re: NNPC Reacts As Nigerians Condemn Appointments Of ‘only Northerners’ by Karlifate:
In a sane country, the appointments are based on merit BUT in Nigeria, nepotism is the order of the day.

Later, they'll start manipulating their age so that they won't retire on time & also to lobby their children to take over from them.

I said it on one IGR of each State's thread that the South (South-East, South-West & South-South) labours BUT the North (North-East, North-West & North-Central) enjoys the fruits.

NNPC thinks oil money will come back. They are simply fooling themselves. See where injustice has gotten the Northerners. No oil money again.

Re: NNPC Reacts As Nigerians Condemn Appointments Of ‘only Northerners’ by Coldie:
Arewa twitter are shaming southerners on twitter about how poor we are.

Once northerners are the majority they lie its merit.

But 2016 when the fg did a first class scholarship and Southerners turned out majority, the Yoruba's to be precise instead of approving it they cancelled the scheme.

But igbos are the problem according to some people... LoL. Me personally I know that apart from Biafra issues we igbos dont have problems

Una eye go clear soon

Bearing our reality, the Government should state the state of origin of persons being appointed/promoted if they have nothing to hide and that is transparency.
