The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has urged the public to be wary of attempts to drag the corporation into politics in the guise of requests for information under the Freedom of Information law.

The Group Managing Director of the Corporation disclosed this in a statement signed by Ndu Ughamadu, the spokesman for the corporation, in Abuja on Tuesday.

Kyari made the call during a courtesy visit by the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, Waziri Adio, to the NNPC Towers.

He said that though the corporation was committed to transparency and accountability to the Nigerian people, a line must be drawn between genuine requests for information and malicious attempts to drag it into politics.

He said: “As you are aware, sometimes the requests are brazenly malicious, and they are laden with political undertones.

“NNPC finds it difficult to respond to such requests because it is mindful of falling into the trap of being drawn into politics or maligning others.”

He added that in keeping with its commitment to be accountable and transparent, the corporation would publish its audited accounts soon.

On the disclosure of contracts and contractors as requested by the NEITI boss, he said the biggest contracts in the corporation’s portfolio currently was the products supply contracts under the Direct Sales Direct Purchase scheme.

He noted that details of the contracts and the contractors would also be made public within this month.

He promised to make the monthly financial and operations reports more accessible by publishing the soft copies of the reports from January to May.

In his remarks, Adio, congratulated Kyari on his appointment, saying: “This is a big opportunity you have been given to shape the direction of this country in a positive way and I believe you have the capacity to do that.

He said he was particularly impressed with the corporation’s robust deployment of modern information and communication platforms, especially the website, which he noted could be used as a transparency tool through pro-active disclosures.

He said NEITI would remain committed to working with the NNPC because of the GMD’s track record of integrity.

He said: “The GMD is somebody we can vouch for, he is a transparency champion and I can’t remember any GMD’s appointment that has elicited as much goodwill as your appointment has generated”

What are you guys afraid of?

They are only requesting for informations on how our yams are being shared/spent.. Is that too hard to ask?

When a man has much skeleton in the cupboard, he get scared at the sight of visitors .

NNPC we all no is a cash cow for the cabals of the Hausa/Fulani hegemony.

The main Trophy of Hausafulanis Muslims in the body polity of Nigeria when power is secured.
NNPC is the politics of abuse of power by fulanis

The cashcow of Nigeria where corruption walks in all four towers of NNPC. Secret dealings that have always be in favour of the north only

NNPC is like a community well. You can't determine how many gallons was fetched in a year .

No oil corporation in the whole world is totally transparent.

ARAMCO won’t even welcome press anywhere 100m to their fence let alone their premises.

Same with Petrobas, petronas etc.

Read what you wrote above? Any sense in it?

You be the judge.. No partial

Telling us about how our money is being spent is not politics but transparency

If u have nothing to hide, just publish what is required of u.

These northerners want to die on NNPc matter.... They are always quick to replace themselves as MD. Even without having a single drop of Oil in the north..

However no southerner can be minister of FCT... Maybe because they are not from the North

Yoruba Muslims will not think about this... SMH

I like the tone of the new GMD, man talks tough.

Please don't buy sniper, as you're announcing your predicament, God will pick your call.

Gbam! Here comes the new official line for warding off requests via FOI.

'We won't oblige you the information requested because we don't want you to drag us into politics.'

How does that even sound to an official of a government touted to be fighting corruption?
