THE likelihood shape of what to come when the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is passed into law may have started to manifest as government begins mass sack in the industry in preparation for the changes expected when the bill eventually becomes law.
The Guardian gathered in Abuja Monday that the sack of 10 management members of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) at the weekend by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources is the beginning of series of mass sack slated to happen in the sector.
Apart from the sack in the PTDF, The Guardian learnt that mass purge is also expected in the Petroleum Equalization Management Fund where Mrs. Sharon Olufunke Kasali has been at the helms of affairs for about six years. Though government was ready to wield the big stick, it was gathered that where the remnants of the workforce would be posted to when the PIB takes effect fully might be responsible for the delay in the purge in PEF.
Under the new regime that would be brought to the system when the PIB is passed, there would not be any provision for fuel bridging payment, which is presently the major responsibilities, of PEF. Mrs. Sharon, who was appointed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has an open-ended appointment that does not spell out when her term in office would expire.
The same game plan is also in the offing for the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) and the Department for Petroleum Resources (DPR). The only body that appears to be sure of stability post-PIB is the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), which has recorded some level of stability since the incumbent Group Managing Director, Andrew Yakubu, took over the reign from Austin Oniwon.
The PTDF has indeed confirmed the sack of the 10 top officials.
The PTDF has in last one year has struggled financially to meet its obligations such as payment of its overseas scholars and meeting up its domestic obligations, which was responsible for the non-confirmation of erstwhile Acting Executive Secretary, Jolomi Arenyeka, who was the General Manager (Nigerian Content Department).
The only body that appears to be sure of stability post-PIB is the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), which has recorded some level of stability since the incumbent Group Managing Director, Andrew Yakubu, took over the reign from Austin Oniwon.
NO SHAKING GUYS COS IT IS DONE ALREADY!!!
Our prayer is that May God give us the desires of our hearts and make all our plans succeed. In pursuit of our opportunities, please meditate on the book of Psalms 20.
Oluwa e jowo e ranti omo yin kosu Owara yi to pari. Amin!
Lord let your will be done!
Oh Lord, we call on you to rise on our behalf and fight this battle for us. Let NNPC remember us for our appointments and make us victorious. This is our heart desires.
Guys there is a two-day public hearing on job racketeering in public service which ends today. This MIGHT be the cause of the delay. For datails see below.
LEGISREPORTS NG – The House of Representatives yesterday, directed the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) to refund job seekers their N1,000 each charged as recruitment fee into the services.
The Reps made this query during a Joint Committee public hearing mandated by the House to investigate racketeering of job placement in the public service. At the commencement of the 2-day investigative public hearing, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal expressed concern over what he described as “one of the worst crises Nigerians face today”.
“One of the worst crises we face today is the high rate of unemployment and the damage this has caused to our economic, moral and social development as a nation.”
At the hearing, the Office of the Head of Civil Service (OHCS) denied granting recruitment waivers, a prerequisite for employment to the Customs to recruit 5,556 in 2011.
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) and the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) Customs Service were asked to return today having failed to provide the Committee with complete documents on the procedure of the recruitment.
The agency was also unable to provide documentary evidence to prove that due diligence was adhered to in its recruitment exercises it carried out between 2007 and 2010.
The agency was discovered to have no policy on job recruitment since 1991 when it was created.Also, in contravention of the Public Service rules, CAC advertised for employment only in 2010 with appointments based on selection.
In what seemed like buck passing, Director, Human Resources, Labaran Shuaibu, who represented the Commission said she was only two days old on the job and could not give satisfactory responses to many of the questions put to her by the Committee.
The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) also provided conflicting documents to the Committee, while failing to follow due process in its recruitment exercises .While document showed that 2,005 people were employed in 2011, another showed 2,550.
The Committee was enraged when the Secretary to the Immigrations board, Sylvanus Tapgun admitted that he does not know the bank account number where the revenue generated from the employment application forms sold for N1,000 and could not disclose the name and contact of the alleged consulting firm the Service hired to conduct its latest recruitment exercise.
The Secretary also claims to be unaware of House of Representatives’ resolution urging the NIS to stop collecting fees for the employment forms,”I did not place the advertisement, it was done by my predecessor, I resume office in September”.
The Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) was also discovered to have flouted Public Service rules by recruiting 5,595 in 2011 without approval from the Head of Service, according to the Permanent Secretary. Career Management Service, Ezekiel Oyemomi.
Similarly, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was granted weaver to recruits 801 workers by the Federal Character Commission (FCC) but has recruited 1,146 so far.
At the point, Chairman of the Joint Committee, Andrew Uchendu said the Committee would no longer accept excuse of being new in the office as reason enough to claim ignorance of official matters.
He also noted that para military agencies were more guilty of flouting Public Service rules on recruitment.
“This Investigative Hearing is therefore long overdue and I am glad that we are finally getting to the root of this very serious anomaly.
“It is tragic that in a nation with such a high degree of unemployment, people can be so heartless as to make job-seekers pay for the opportunity of contributing their quota to the development of their father-land.
“This means that however qualified they are, unless they can cough out the bribe, they won’t get the job. This situation cannot be allowed to continue. We are denying our youth the opportunity to provide our country with the right manpower.
What a country by name Nigeria. who is free from corruption? The worst recruitment in Nigeria will always come from government agencies especially military and Para military agencies. Always collecting money just for a mere application in your father land. Not their faults, cos the youths are not ready to die and until they are ready to loose their life for their right then things will never change. Who is free from corruption in Nigeria?
Oh Lord, we are waiting for the good news.
nigeria is a fake country
