The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, has explained that the corporation retired some of its staff because they flouted established process and procedures.
He made this known in a statement signed by NNPC’s Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Department, Ndu Ughamadu, on Thursday in Abuja.
Baru was speaking when he received a delegation of Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria (ACAN) in his office.
He made it clear that the NNPC supports anti-corruption and promised that they would work with the management of ACAN, the research and training department of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Tribunal (ICPC).
”We have retired some members of staff and meted out penalties on others who flouted our process.
”NNPC was the first agency of government to form an in-house anti-corruption committee soon after the proclamation of the ICPC Act.
”This action shows our commitment to transparency and openness in all we do; it also shows our zeal to ensure that our staff imbibe the culture of fighting corruption,” Baru said.
He added that the Corporation was prompt, in its remittance of oil and gas revenues into the Federation Account.
