“It appears the current Executive Secretary has taken the staff agitation for her removal to a desperate point of dragging the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan to the mud by whipping up sentiments in the media at this critical time when the Nation is undergoing transition. The leakage of the letter by the Minister of Finance sent directly to the Executive Secretary of NIPC on August 12, 2014 and which has been in her custody, smacks of an act of irresponsibility and immaturity,”

Ahmad Ghondi, chairman of NIPC union, wrote in the petition.

Saratu was simply playing to the gallery. Good riddance to bad rubbish! wink

Must you criticize any action taken by the executive? Why would such very delicate information get to the public? Trust Nigerians, they will not strive to get the whole details.

The minister of finance sent a memo seeking clarification on huge leakages via tax holidays. I would have expected NIPC to respond to the query and this will eventually trigger investigation. Replying an official query on the pages of newspaper is totally unethical. You are the boss......you take the praise and blame alike.

Nose government. Trillions missing from government coffers while youths hardly are able to afford basic amenities. This country would've become great under this wasteful Jonathan's government had he managed the economy well. Rubbish government

God is punishing them. Did Okonjo Iweala just realize this waiver? Last minute face saving game, they want to blame it on her and she did what she thought was best, anyway, they'll pay for all these, I don't even know what you're supporting in this matter, memos on sensitive issues leak everyday so this shouldn't be an exception

Jonathan fires NIPC boss, Saratu Umar
May 18, 2015

President Goodluck Jonathan has sacked Saratu Umar, executive secretary of the Nigeria Investment Promotion Council (NIPC).

Reuben Abati, presidential spokesman, confirmed the development, saying Uju Hassan-Baba has been appointed as Umar’s replacement.

Some NIPC workers had been appealing to Jonathan to dismiss Umar over allegations of “gross incompetence, high-handedness and staff intimidation”. “We renew our call for her immediate sack as any extra day she spends in the NIPC undermines the activities of the Commission and reverses the gains of Government in its bid to diversify the economy using private capital,” a recent petition signed by Ahmad Ghondi, chairman of NIPC union, read.

The union even staged a protest that led to the paralysis of activities at the headquarters of the agency in Abuja on April 22.
During the protest, its members carried placards with inscriptions such as: ‘NIPC without management/Council’, ‘Saratu Umar must go today’, ‘Self-styled one-man management’, ‘No imprest to zonal office for eight months’.

Or it says a lot about the mass illiteracy in our country with even the educated folks being ILLITERATE as well.

Otherwise how can anyone say a governor who scored 14% in the vital education sector is "excellent"

PATHETIC!!!

Can Someone now explain to me how Jonathan, Iweala, Stealer Odua and Dizieani Won't end up as prison mates?

Meanwhile, Jonathan has exactly 9 days left in office. From the perspective of activities at our vault, it’s like 12 days of Christmas out there! cry cry


you are an illitrate, a very silly one at that.

who grants tax waivers, is it GEJ , okonjo or umar.

who wrote a letter stating the huge revenue losses to the Fg as a result of the said waivers.

your stupidity is really mind blowing.

if GEJ or okonjo were the ones issuing pioneership certificates will they need to write umar a letter.

if she was sacked since will the northern oligarchs not cry of witch hunt and northern agenda as usual.

you are truly dumb and demented
