Special Report: Corruption, Injustice, Unfairness Fester Enrage Amongst Staffers Of NNPC Ltd.
By Onome Naomi
NNPC is supposed to mean, Nigerian National Petroleum Company, but, very sadly it is now banded Northern Nigeria Petroleum Company as the Staffers of NNPC Ltd have taken deep rooted piquedness amongst themselves as Corruption, Injustice, Unfairness is clearly exhibited on a daily basis. It is really worthy of note that out of the eight (8) members of the Senior Management Team (SMT), Six (6) are Northerners, while there are only two (2) members from the Southern Nigeria, One (1) each from South South and South West. And, very sadly again, there are no member (s) from the South East, despite the Board Chairman Mrs. Okadigbo and One Henry Obi who hailed from the South East are on the Board of the NNPC Ltd.
From the available information, all the viable Strategic Business Units (SBUS) are heavily manned by the Northerners for example TRADING, NAPIMS, NPDC, NRL, et’al, also most of the assets (OMRS) in NPDC are managed by the Northerners. And, again, the GECO in the last one (1) year has carried out ILLEGAL RECRUITMENT OF STAFFERS INTO NNPC LTD, while the NNPC Retail Ltd Staffers have been excluded in the implementation of the PIA as it relates to TRANSFER OF STAFFERS to NNPC LTD as the GECO ensures that his cronies are appointed to be at the head of affairs at the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and the Midstream Downstream Petroleum Regulations Authority (NMDPRA).
The stinking corruption, injustice and unfairness are reeking up to high heavens as Nue Oil Energy Ltd a company registered on March 9th, 2022 with a share of One Million (1,000,000) did buy 100% shares in OVH Energy Marketing Ltd and ASPM Ltd from OVH Energy BV, a joint Venture between Vitol and Helios in September 2022, but, very painfully the acquisition cost was not stated in the filing at the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) the Staff of NNPC Ltd are largely pained that in the same September 2022 NNPC Ltd did acquire the assets from Nue Oil a company with two (2) Directors-Dagazau Mumuni, Chief Operating Officer, (COO) OVH and Shanono Sharif Zailani, River Brand Energy Ltd as stated in the Cooperate Affairs Commission (CAC) document of the company (NUE OIL ENERGY) with reckless impunity the GECO has directed the management of OVH take over the management of NNPC Retail Ltd while Dagazau Mumuni, COO, OVH and Director in the NUE OIL ENERGY has been appointed Special Adviser Downstream to the GECO, NNPC LTD when there is EVP, Downstream NNPC Ltd.
The Staffers of NNPC Ltd are not pleasant with the appointment of Mr. Huub Stokman, a white man as the Management Director (MD) NNPC Retail Ltd, whereas they are Nigerians with more cognate industry experience, competency and capacity in the Downstream Sector of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry as available information from the CAC on the NNPC Retail Status shows that Stokman not a Director in NNPC Retail Ltd since he does not seem to have a valid work permit from the Nigerian Immigration Services (NIS).
The Staffers of NNPC Ltd are heavily saddened that Stokman and his Management Team did manage OVH in 2021 were the company did record a huge loss of over four (4) billion naira only, with a 5% market share and a support expenses of over twenty-five (25) billion naira only for 2021-2022, while the Staffers of NNPC Ltd noted that in 2021 NNPC Retail netted a profit of over five (5) billion naira only, a market share of 100% a retained profit of over ten (10) billion naira only and a support expense of less than five (5) billion naira only for 2021-2022.
And, again, the actions of Stokman has caused painful disaffection, disunity and demotivation of NNPC Retail Staffers as a result of the IMPOSITION of his OVH Staffers as management team on NNPC Retail Staff, despite the uncommon and immense contributions to the unimaginable growth and success of the company even with some NNPC Retail Ltd, Staff having over 15 years Cognate Downstream Experience, Competency and Capacity before joining the NNPC Retail Ltd and very sadly they have not being promoted since they were employed in NNPC Retail Ltd over ten (10) years ago.
The truth is that the Staffers of NNPC are asking questions WHO actually acquired WHO? Did NNPC Ltd acquire NUE OIL ENERGY (OVH) or Vice Versa. The Staffers of NNPC Ltd are making a clarion call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and his presidency to urgently come to salvage the National Oil Company from the hands of the heavily corrupt management overseeing the affairs of the NNPC Ltd and her subsidiaries. And, again the Staffers are still asking the powers that be, that they should be immediate investigations of NNPC Ltd and her subsidiaries in areas such as
