The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, on Thursday fired three of its senior officials and deployed four others to fill the gaps created.
No reason was given for the punitive action, but it is not unconnected with the N11 billion missing petrol money.
The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu who announced the sack, merely said the sacked officials were retired by the corporation.
He said: “In line with the ongoing reforms in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the management has announced the retirement of some staff and the deployment of others. The retired staff are Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, Managing Director, NNPC Retail Ltd; Mr. Alpha P. Mamza, Executive Director, Operations, NNPC Retail Ltd; and Mr. Oluwa Kayode Erinoso, Manager, Distribution, NNPC Retail Ltd.
“The deployments are Mr. Adeyemi Adetunji, Managing Director of NNPC Retail Ltd; Engr. Lawal Bello, Executive Director, Operations, NNPC Retail Ltd; Mrs. Affiong Akpasubi, Executive Director, Services, NNPC Retail Ltd; and Mr. Agwandas A. Andrawus, Manager, Distribution, NNPC Retail Ltd.
