Sorry south south and south east.

Dont feel sorry for south east! We saw it coming and are not surprised!

PrecisionFx:



that's how useless apc has become.

Buhari is the greatest enemy of the people here. He allows these decisions remain most times, giving the culprit a slap on the wrist. Babachir Lawal.

TonyeBarcanista:
Honestly, I don't know why Ibe Kachukwu is crying...

1. In his letter he sound so insecure like he is in superiority contest with GMD Baru

2. He seem to forget that he is the Minister of State for Petroleum resources and not the Minister of Petroleum resources, hence, any approval the GMD got from Buhari (the minister) subsist and NOBODY owe him any explanation concerning the decision of the boss at the top.

3. I'd have loved that he cite sections of procedures/rules that mandates contracts above $20m MUST be passed through the NNPC board before it is implemented. From the traditions of NNPC, the minister is usually the final appending authority... If, however, that is the case, then this is a serious indictment on both the GMD and the Government.

4. As for appointment, as unfortunate as it may sound, once the Petroleum Minister approves it, it becomes valid with or without the input of minister of State.

Let me for the record state that the office of Minister of State is more or less minister without portfolio because you can easily be sidelined... I'd have preferred Kachukwu to prefer remaining as GMD than the "promotion" to Minister of State when in reality he is at the mercies of the Substantive minister (in his case the president) and nobody will really fear much.


SOLUTION
There is nothing anyone can do about this, not even President Buhari. NNPC is a cash cow and Baru is the GMD and Buhari is the Minister.

I am sure Kachukwu is not expecting Buhari to query or sack his kinsman?

BTW Did I read that they refused to allow Kachukwu get appointment with Buhari? Naija wahala plenty o

So NNPC GMD is superior to Minister of State, Petroleum Resources?

Desyner:
Memo/letters to the President now goes through social media.

it is called transparency. kudos to APC we wouldn't have know what's going on up there.

monex:


He is not being sidelined as Minister of State. He is sidelined as Chairman of the Board.

i agree he should have remained NNPC GMD and I think he would have wanted to. Indeed he was demoted to Minister of State and he knew it

Chairman of NNPC is non executive mister man....

And GMD Don't report to the Chairman, not when in Kachukwu case he is delegated and not statutory chairman. The Boss in the ministry remains the Minister, in this case Buhari... Neither the GMD nor the Minister owe Kachukwu ANY explanation...

You know the funny thing? Kachukwu is not really in charge of ANY ministry...

In the last govt it was tagged 'cluelessness'.

Desyner:

It shows what governance has degraded to with apc. Nothing is now sacrosanct. Even el-rufai letter was leaked through the press. How do confidential letters meant exclusively for the president find their way to the press baffles me.

i was talking about coporate governance rather than what the law and consitution say. I know by law the GMD reports to the Minister of Petroleum (Buhari in this case). But I also thought corporate governance requires a CEO to consult his board on critical decisions. Kachukwu's letter was using the corporate governance rational. He is a lawyer and knows the expenditures do not require his approval.

Who told you this?

The Minister for State is superior to the NNPC GMD.

Also note, the President/ Minister of Petroleum has delegated lots of functions to The Minister of state and supervising the activities in NNPC is one of those functions.

Landmark445:
So NNPC GMD is superior to Minister of State, Petroleum Resources?

Here is the catch...

NNPC GMD is the Boss in NNPC and all its subsidiaries. Petroleum Minister is the Boss in the Petroleum sector that supervises the NNPC and all other parastatals under it and ensure they all comply with government overall policies and directives.

The NNPC GMD is Bari

The NNPC Minister that supervises Baru is Muhammadu Buhari...

Kachukwu, the minister of state is more like a minister without portfolio. Yes, he carries minister title but in reality he supervises NO ministry. All he does is do as delegated by the boss- the minister.

Hence, the GMD can decide to work directly with the minister while the Minister of state whines like a crybaby. Pushing Kachukwu to minister of state was a "smart" move to have Baba and his kinsman control the sector.

Before you scream tribalism, this is like a norm in Nigeria....

Presidents always ensure that their kinsmen take FULL control of oil sector

When Obj was President, he was the Petroleum Minister and Gaius Obaseki, a kinsman of Stella Obasanjo was the GMD.. In his second term it was Funsho Kupolokun that was GMD while he remained petroleum minister.

Yaradua appointed Rilwanu Lukman (North) as Petroleum Minister. His NNPC GMD were Mihammed Sanusi Bakindo an Abubakar Yar'Adua

GEJ appointed Diezanni from Bayelsa like him as Petroleum Minister though he was "fair" to concede NNPC to the North

Deeldorado:
Imagine the NNPC GMD sidelining the Minister. Northern hegemony at work. Buhari's nepotism cannot allow for the best hands in any parastatal. It is only in government that Northerners excel more than everyone but can't compete in anything else. This administration failed before it started.

by excel u mean running Nigeria aground?

Well, NNPC GMD, Petroleum Minister and Minister of State are political appointments. So, a lot of interest is involved and to politicians/interest groups, corporate governance comes second.

Hahaha, this na letter abi novel? by 2019, Bubu go never finish reading this letter. Even me i still dey page 1.

jayson87:
Kaichukwu is inarguably fighting a lost battle. His actions too are uncomely of what is expected of a minister. Now that this letter has leaked out, what should be done.

Kaichukwu feeling like... I will go and report you. Forget Corruption! Deziani did a better job to Kaichukwu. Deziani is more experienced in the oil industry than Kaichukwu. Kaichukwu is just a trial by error minister

Clearly you have not clue!!!. The same Deziani? That was paying herself and company subsidy at the expense of common citizens like us? The same Dezaini that never came up with an innovative solution to the problem of NNPC? The first ever NNPC declared profit was under Kachukwu. Despite the fact that oil was selling at 120 Dollars/barrel under Deziani.

You need to add a little knowledge of corporate governance to already acquired one.

EdCure:


I gave up on Buhari long long ago. He and his nepotistic and sectarian style of governance is the worst form of corruption that has hit Nigeria.

This anti corruption tag is a mere propaganda cliché.

Gently my friend, the documented evidence of corruption against Kachikwu is 10 times what is shown here and is all submitted. Don't loose your cool , unless of course you belong to Kanu's constituency and therefore must insult without having any details.

Ibe Kachikwu is trapped. He should have seen the hand writing on the wall when General Buhari relegated him to Minister of State in the petroleum ministry.
Baru now goes over his head and reports directly to Buhari,probably with Buhari's approval.
Kachikwu can not gain access to his principal Buhari,hence this letter which was subsequently released to the press by the moles in the presidency to further humiliate Kachikwu.
It is too late to resign now except Kachikwu is squeaky clean or else the EFCC will hang a corruption charge(s) around his neck.

Always go through what you read so you don't sound like an id!ot in your writing. Didn't you read that Ibe is also Chairman of the board and that due process mandates all contracts, as is done in other ministries, go through the board?

BTW The Act under which NNPC... The law guiding NNPC differs from those of other agencies and parastatals...

If there was a breach, I'll appreciate if YOU or Kachukwu cite the section...

Lol who will demystify who?

As for the corruption, the system is so messed up

lagosrd:
.
Bro our concerns shouldn't be sending such through social media. The content should be our focus. Those politicians can go to any length to bring down their colleagues. Shameless people. I think there is someone in the presidency that has been delibrately planted inside the presidents office to leak these confidential letters to the public . It could be a cleaner of any other persons and could be in the office of the government of the secretary to the federation.

Unfortunately, the leak will do more damage to the presidency especially in the area of nepotism and corporate governance. It may also escalate unrest in a delicate region of Nigeria.

It is exigent for the President himself to address the mess ASAP.

Oga Kachikwu, you might be claiming that you are form Delta state, but the fact is that you are a bloody igbo man. to an average Northerner you are a potential enemy. be wise

You simply don't understand. Do you? How best do you estimate the performance of an organization that is not a start-up and not an NGO rather than PBT(Profit before Tax) and PAT(Profit After Tax).

You have the floor. Don't be an illiterate. Please!!!!
