The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC has promised to undertake a huge reorganization of staff of its upstream subsidiary, the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, because workers of the firm are incompetent.
In a recent statement in Abuja, Chief Operating Officer, Upstream, of the NNPC, Mr Rowland Ewubare, said that the corporation had to redeploy 12 management staff of the NPDC, as they looked to re-position the company to meet its production and reserve targets.
He revealed that the reorganization was compulsory after the quick need of the present management to develop the NPDC into a big-time exploration and production company.
His words, “Upon assumption of office, an evaluation of personnel was carried out which indicated incompetence and compromise on the part of some staff which necessitated the shake-up. They also failed to provide efficient leadership for some of the assets needed to reposition the company.
“I must put on record that the changes would continue until we get the right optimal managerial talents for the management of those critical assets.”
“The redeployment that just took place in NPDC is a signal to all members of staff that it is no longer business as usual. We are determined, as a management, to meet the four cardinal points of Transparency, Accountability with Performance Excellence (TAPE).
“Therefore, the redeployment has nothing to do with ethnicity, religion, or any sectional interest. The current NNPC management reflects all the six geo-political zones.”
