NNPC Contracts To Be Made Open To Public — Kachikwu by Nobody: 8:34pm On Sep 25, 2015 |
The Group Managing Director of
the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC, Emmanuel
Kachikwu, on Friday said
contracts to be awarded by the
corporation would henceforth
be made public.
In his first interactive session
with journalists in Lagos since
his appointment as GMD, Mr.
Kachikwu said the decision was
aimed at making the activities
of the corporation transparent
and open to the general public.
“Contracts will be made open to
the public and we will choose
the best module that works for
us and that helps us save money.
“We need to clean the system
and carry everybody along. The
concept of what is right and
wrong will take us very far,’’ Mr.
Kachikwu stressed.
Mr. Kachikwu said the
corporation would urgently
embark on a transparency
operation to regain its lost
credibility.
The GMD noted that the
transparency operation would
start with an audit of the
corporation’s finances, which
was last audited in 2010.
He said the corporation’s
finance would not only be
audited and brought up to date,
but would also be made
available to the general public.
The NNPC GMD said the
transparency operation would
also involve posting of the
corporation’s activities on its
website regularly.
He added that along with the
regular data, there would also be
a weekly broadcast of issues
concerning the corporation on
its website from now
henceforth.
According to him, though, there are huge
challenges in driving the corporation
forward but they would be surmounted with
good planning and efficiency.
The NNPC GMD said the challenge of
cleaning NNPC would be a bumpy, exciting
ride, which would eventually yield positive
results.
Commenting on the state of the nation’s
refineries, he said they were currently
working at 30 percent capacity, which was
unprofitable.
Mr. Kachikwu noted that for the refineries
to be profitable, they needed to attain a
minimum of 60 percent operation capacity.
“Personally, I would have chosen to sell the
refineries, but President Buhari has
instructed that they should be fixed.
“After they are fixed, if they still operate
below 60 per cent, then we will know what
to do.
“The 90-day ultimatum for the refineries to
be fixed will end in December and Port
Harcourt Refinery looks like the only one
that will meet the deadline, but we will wait
and see what happens at the end of the 90
days,’’ he said.

Good development. However on reading further, this caught my attention: Commenting on the state of the nation’s refineries, he said they were currently working at 30 percent capacity, which was unprofitable. So were the people who said that the refineries are now working at full capacity? Why do we tell lies so much? |

Another evidence that this administration will operate an open government in an attempt to limit public corruption. Now Nigerians can see who gets what contract and for much. They can also follow up on performance. Good news! I am very sure that a lot of PDP wailers will hate this development. Well they can continue to shout and cry.
