The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), have pledged unalloyed support for the transformation stride of the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru.

Speaking during a solidarity visit to the GMD, National President of PENGASSAN, Comrade Francis Johnson, said the unions and their members considered it appropriate to rally round the GMD and the NNPC Management to pledge their support.



Comrade Johnson said the unions’ support for the GMD was based on his ability to walk his talk since assuming office last year.

“The National body of PENGASSAN and all the NNPC in-house unions are here today to show our support for you. You have brought stability to the NNPC and we are happy today that staff morale is high. You were Chairman of NNPC Anti-Corruption Committee for over five years and that was what informed your appointment as GMD of NNPC. Today, all the bullets you are taking are on behalf of members of staff. We will continue to pray for you, God will continue to guide and shield you,” Comrade Johnson assured.

The PENGASSAN President called on Nigerians to be cautious of their comments on the controversy, adding that any wrong information was capable of discouraging investors from the oil and gas industry which is the highest foreign exchange earner.

The unions’ visit came on the heels of the recent controversies over a letter the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu forwarded to the President alleging non-adherence to due process by the Management of NNPC in some contract administration.

The NNPC Group Chairman of PENGASSAN, Comrade Sale Abdullahi, who also spoke during the visit to the GMD, stated that their concern had to do with the need to protect not only the GMD but the NNPC as an institution.



He noted that Dr. Baru had streamlined the processes and procedures in the Corporation leading to the full restructuring which was beginning to yield positive results.

“Today, the GMD and NNPC Management receive inputs from staff and this gesture by Dr. Baru has given members of staff a sense of belonging. Today, our inputs are being implemented and we are highly motivated,” Comrade Abdullahi stated.

Supporting these positions, the Group Chairman of NNPC NUPENG, Comrade Udofia Odudu Benjamin, said the unions would continue to pray for divine guidance for Dr. Baru and the entire NNPC management

Earlier, the Chairman of NNPC Corporate Headquarters Chapter of PENGASSAN, Comrade Mathew Duru, reiterated the continued support of the unions for the Dr. Baru-led management.

“We just want to tell the GMD from the bottom of our hearts that we are with him and the Top Management; that we are behind the GMD who has done very well in turning the fortunes of the Corporation around”, the union leader stated.

He said since Dr. Baru assumed office, he had succeeded in clearing the air of uncertainty that prevailed in the corporation because of visionless reforms that left NNPC on the brink of collapse.

He also said the GMD succeeded in resolving the NNPC Pension challenge that had led to disenchantment among staff. “We are with you. We want to let you know that you are not an orphan”, Mr. Matthew emphasized.



Responding, Dr. Baru dismissed the allegations of award of contracts without regard to due process as unfounded and unfortunate. He explained that as a former chairman of the NNPC Anti-Corruption Committee, he would be the last person to breach the procurement process by disregarding extant laws and rules.

The GMD said both the NNPC Act and Public Procurement Act vested procurement powers on the NNPC Tenders Board, the President and the Federal Executive Council (FEC) depending on the cost threshold, stressing that the NNPC Board had no role whatsoever in the process.

“I know for those of you who are following what we are doing here, you know that there’s no money lost and no process has been breached. Our contracting process is perfect and we will continue to follow the process. The NNPC Board has no role, I repeat, has no role as far as the contracting process is concerned”, Dr. Baru emphasized, adding that the NNPC Tenders Board was made up of the GMD as Chairman and the Group Executive Directors as members.

On the crude term contract and the DSDP agreements, he explained: “These are not contract as such, they are essentially pre-qualification of off-takers of crude oil and in the case of DSDP, of those that will take crude and give us products in return. So there is no value to them. But humongous figures have been put forward mainly to incite the public, it is most unfortunate”.

On the allegation of lop-sided promotions, the GMD asked the union leaders if their members felt disenchanted to which the unionists chorused a resounding “no”.

He urged the union leaders to enlighten their members on the facts and encourage them to go about their duties without distraction.

Rubbish

fatymore:
Who is now lying?

fatymore3

Why is it that we never get much of good news from oil related sectors of the economy..only scandals, Inflation of prices, hoarding and corruption?

Haha what is funny is that some illiterates are rejoicing at this news and sees it as a blow to the Igbos.

We really have a long way to go in this country.

Now i am totally confused

Sugomu, happy now?

You don't need to tell me The name of the man that Sired you a. k. a Sugomu

run along Kid

is this not strange?

Nupeng and pengassen support someone.

These nupeng guys and pengassen are the ones always threatening the nation with strikes, leading to fuel scarcity across the nation.

i remember when the minister wanted to unbundle nnpc they began to threaten with strike.

I remember one time they decided to strike cos the lagos state govt told them to relocate their tankers to a different point.

It likes the oil cabals coming out to say they are behind dezani.



I dont believe Baru is corrupt o, i just beleive kachukwu was a better candidate.


People who bring about great reforms are not usually liked, cos their reforms are usually very bitter to swallow.

Example was El rufia, this man was cursed severally becos of demiolision when he was FCT minister, but today Abj a very planned city and u cant do without mentioning his name.

These oil cabals need to be made powerless and they were scared of what kachukwu would do

Me i go just they look.

One thing I surely know about we Nigerians is that once a story comes up and its what we love, we believe it hook line and sinker...however, when it doesn't suit our narrative, we argue over it endlessly.

The crisis between Baru and Kachickwu has to do with ego between the two. When Kachickwu was the GMD and the State Min of Petroleum the first thing he did was to move Baru away to a position where he became irrelevant.

For some of you who have followed the story truthfully, you will know that Baru being the most senior then had hoped Buhari will make him the GMD but Buhari opted for Kachickwu an outsider instead and that affected Baru psychologically. As God will have it, Kachickwu usoped his power as GMD and state Min of petroleum by Raising memos as GMD and he could easily make PMB agree and sign without much eagle eyes Orr challenge.

Kachickwu had given so much contracts to his cronies and appointed into key positions his people to ease his runs but over time, it was clear that Buhari was silently allowing for the creation of another Diezieni and that was put to a halt by appointing Baru as GMD.

I don't have to explain how it would when you humiliate a person and suddenly he is back where he out to be.

Sadly to Kachickwu, KARMA is what has come to greet him.

SMH.
How does "karma" in NNPC improve your personal life?
This would have been a non-issue had NNPC being a privately-owned company,
but it is unfortunate that you don't care whether something is going wrong in
NNPC so long as it is a personal feud between two people.

[quote author=Danielzane post=61266880][/quote]

FOR THE UNIONS TO COME OUT IN SUPPORT OF GMD IS VERY TROUBLESOME.

THERE ARE SUPPOSED LAID DOWN PROCEDURES, RULES AND GUIDE LINES IN AWARDING CONTRACTS. WHERE THESE CONTRACTS ADVERTISED IN ANY NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS, RADIO ETC. WAS THERE ANY OVERSIGHT WHO ARE THE CONTRACTORS THAT WON THESE CONTRACTS WAS THE COST EFFECTIVE, VALUE FOR MONEY
WAS DUE PROCESS FOLLOWED

THESE ARE FUNDAMENTAL NATIONAL ISSUES THE UNIONS ARE TOYING WITH, INSTEAD OF BRINGING BOTH PARTIES FOR AMIABLE SETTLEMENT TO SAVE THE CORPORATION.

MAY GOD HELP AND BLESSED NIGERIA

Nigeria is done for. Ppl always standing by corrupt leaders just to maintain steady dirty inflows of money...

People heading NUPENG & PENGASSAN are all northerners. The southerners are silly and laid back to rise up and break this Northern hegemony!
