NNPC staff shun directive, fail to declare assets

Abuja - An investigation has revealed that more
than 1,500 staff employed by the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) have
shunned a directive ordering them to declare
their assets to the company.
According to a Naij report, as of May 2016, only
just over 70 percent of the staff contingent at
the NNPC had complied with the order, leaving
approximately 30 percent of staff assets still
undeclared.
“What obtained before August 4, 2015, when the
corporation got a new group managing director
in person of Dr Ibe Kachikwu is that nobody
cares about whether anybody declares assets or
not,” a senior staff of NNPC disclosed under the
condition of anonymity, New Telegraph reports.
In addition, a report compiled by KPMG
indicated that the corporation deducted subsidy
claims to the tune of N28.5 billion between
2007 and 2009 alone, and has since been
unable to account of the amount.
