EFCC, ICPC probe: PENGASSAN calls for suspension of PTI, CEO, others

ON FEBRUARY 23, 20207:44 PMIN NEWS

Following an investigation by anti-graft agencies over financial misappropriation of the Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun, Warri, Delta State, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, has called for the suspension of the Principal/Chief Executive Officer of the institute, Professor Sunny Iyuke, and other management staff.

Speaking with journalists in Lagos on Sunday, the Chairman of PENGASSAN, Prince Audu Oshiokhamele, said the demand was necessary to ensure an undiluted investigation being carried out on the alleged financial impropriety in the school running to billions of naira by the Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and other bodies to unravel the truth.

Already the Bureau of Public Enterprise, BPE, is investigating the matter, while the PTI management is also billed to appear before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition’s investigating panel on March 2, 2020. Office of Minister of Petroleum Resources had also been notified about the development.

The anti-graft agencies had waded into the matter since November 25, 2019, after receiving a series of petitions against the leadership of PTI.

Professor Iyuke and other top management that include the Director of Finance and Account, Mr Aliyu Mafindi were accused of misappropriating personnel costs to the tune of N1.2 billion, N2.2 billion and N2.4 billion respectively in 2017, 2019 and 2019.

Audu added that: “In 2018 over N337 million was discovered by the union to have been removed using over 500 staff names in a pay voucher PV No 78313 and these funds claimed to have been credited to dead, retired and existing staff” but were later discovered to have been diverted for personal use by the accused persons.

An attempt made to speak with the Public Relations Officer of the institute, Mr Brown Ukanifimoni, was unsuccessful at press time, a text message sent to the Chief Executive Officer, CEO of the institution were not responded to as at the time of filing this report.

CultureRe: Salaries Of South-West Obas Before Independence (Pictured) by step1: 8:17pm On Nov 28, 2019
StUriah:
Just imagine.

Civilization has reduced the hierarchical order among the royal class. The Olubadan as second class Oba was originally a 'Baale' title until it transmuted to an Oba when the Alaafin crowned the title. Despite this, the second class position still superseded some first class Obas.

Oba of Benin, Ooni of Ife and the others have actually lost their importance during the colonial era. Everything was centered around Oyo, Ibadan and Egba land. All what other Obas are doing in this modern period is to rewrite history and create some forms of importance and recognition to their royal class. By the way, where were the Soun of Ogbomosho, Ataoja of Oshogbo, Timi of Ede, in the scheme of things in those days?
God bless you

It's funny but I agree a 100% with what you said but probably not the way you have said it.

Lagos is bigger than the silly Yoruba vs Igbo fights we see in nairaland, just as Nigeria is way bigger than the religious squabbles and IPOB/BH drama we deal with daily.

Lagos is a great cosmopolitan jaugernaut than can be rightly claimed by everyone who contributes here. However this will not change the fact it's destiny will continue to be determined by the Yorubas for at least another 100 years.

This will not stop any serious Lagosian who is not Yoruba from being able to achieve anything in this State and I mean anything, if they are truly serious Lagosians.

I'll wrap up by saying a black Kenyan man became the president of the greatest country in the world not by appealing to other black people in the country that looked like him, but by winning the white majority over.

People should learn from Obama on how to humble themselves and carry the majority along.[/s]
Rubbish. Lagos is pure yoruba business

That is what most likely happened. The told us that they are processing it and in no time we will get our money for school fees. Why are Nigerians so wicked, so those of us that decided to use our local universities are fools and are less special to those that want to use foreign universities; and you wonder why Nigeria education system remains they way it is.

In fact now they have remove test, just oral interview which is subjective angry angry angry angry angry angry
