Presidency directs petroleum ministry to suspend NUPRC audit

This was contained in a letter tagged SH/COS/24/A/28 and dated 1 August, addressed to the permanent secretary, Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources and signed by Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.

The new directive comes against the background of the lingering crises between the management of the NUPRC and its workers.The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria had earlier protested the alleged poor welfare and working conditions affecting staff in the commission and called for the removal of the commission’s chief executive, Gbenga Komolafe, over alleged financial mismanagement.

It explained that the recruitment generating controversies was done in compliance with all procedures and compliance certificates issued by the relevant organ. The NUPRC also claimed that allegations the management misappropriated N10 billion virement and donated billions to political parties were libellous and entirely unsubstantiated.

“Equally, the financial source documents utilised to make the donations ought to be published. There is no way fourteen billion naira can leave the coffers of the Commission without a trace, especially given how funds are allocated to the Commission,” it said. It is important to note that thirteen slots of sensitisation campaigns were earmarked in 13 strategic locations within the oil-producing zones, and the campaigns are still ongoing.”
