Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Ibe Kachikwu,
stated that NNPC would be unbundled into 30 profit-making companies
with separate Managing Directors in the weeks ahead as part of the
ongoing transformation of the national oil company.

This disclosure didn’t go down well with
the players in the industry, and as a result the Group Executive
Councils of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG)
and Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria
(PENGASSAN) in a meeting yesterday stated that after “extensively
discussing the pronouncement of the GMD on NNPC unbundling…observed that
the GMD/HMSP totally disregarded due process and failed to engage
stakeholders”
They therefore resolved that “…from
midnight today (Tuesday, March 8), all NNPC locations will be shut down
completely until further notice. Further directives will be communicated
accordingly”.
According to Vanguard, some of the
workers who spoke on the condition of anonymity, chided the Federal
Government, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Ibe
Kachikwu and the management of the NNPC for taking such decision which
concerns and affect the future of the workers without due consultations.
