DPR suspends three officials accused of leaking Bashir Ahmad, others’ plum jobs to Peoples Gazette

The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has launched a company-wide crackdown on officials accused of leaking internal documents to the public, Peoples Gazette can report, in a desperate attack against transparency and ability in public service.

Three officials were suspended in February on allegations of disclosing restricted internal communications of the energy sector regulator, coming barely days after the Gazette exposed how officials of President Muhammadu Buhari were favoured with lucrative positions for which they lacked the requisite educational or vocational background to exert.

A letter obtained by Peoples Gazette, dated February 23, 2021, conveyed the directive of DPR’s chief executive — in league with the agency’s management board — to indefinitely suspend the accused personnel pending the conclusion of an internal probe on the matter.

Obianuju Akwunwa of the DPR’s public affairs unit, and another staff member identified as Moedu B.O., were wrongfully singled out for retribution by the oil and gas regulatory body. The Gazette also obtained the first draft of the controversial suspension letter that went to Ms. Akwunwa, who could not be reached for comments.

A third official, identified as S.H. Hussaini, deputy manager, personnel information, promotion and discipline, was also suspended, days after he signed the suspension letter of Ms. Akwunwa, the Gazette learnt.

Although the Gazette learnt from officials at the DPR that the three officials were suspended, the Gazette was only able to obtain the suspension letter of Ms. Akwunwa, which nonetheless confirmed the rage of DPR’s management officials and their blinded ambition to quietly punish innocent officials for a story they had publicly denied as untrue. 
It was also unclear whether or not the two other officials were also suspended indefinitely like Ms. Akwunwa.

The misguided istrative reprisals came one week after the Gazette exposed how President Muhammadu Buhari appointed his junior media aide Bashir Ahmad to supervise the newly-established National Production Monitoring System (NPMS) — a powerful and lucrative division at the DPR on February 15.

Buhari is running a corrupt and directionless government

Now damage control gone wrong.Always denying reality but claiming to be a government of saints.This is the hypocrisy associated with government especially a lying regime like that of the APC.

PrinceOfLagos:
Buhari is running a corrupt and directionless government

and one full of nepotism and religious bigotry

Three officials were suspended in February on allegations of disclosing restricted internal communications of the energy sector regulator, coming barely days after the Gazette exposed how officials of President Muhammadu Buhari were favoured with lucrative positions for which they lacked the requisite educational or vocational background to exert.

Buhari led the most bigoted, nepotic, clannish, hypocritical, ethno-religious supremacist and corrupt government ever seen in the annals of this failed nation.

I just wonder what is going in the mind of Yoruba's, Igbos and Niger delterns that is still ing this lifeless one, I mean both politicians, BMC and ordinary people.

Damnnn niggarrrr


See nepotism, tribalism, chauvinism, esprit de corps,factionalism, regionalism and sectarianism in this damnnn istration

seunmsg:
Stop rejoicing over a fake document. If only you guys are familiar with how government operates, you won't get carried away easily with fake news......Why do you guys allow these shameless media platforms to fool you everytime?
SMH!

this submission of mine?

Racoon:
As per staunch defender of the government, it is known you can defend anything but there are some things that are not worth defending because, the integrity challenge didnt start today with this government.

It was under this government that Buhari wrote twice to absolve Lawal Babachir/Prof.Yusuf(NHIS sec.whom Prof Isaac Adewole set up that indicted him) of their respective corruption despite overwhelming evidence against them.He was later forced to make a shameless volte face.

What about the Magu and Obono-Obla cases? Yet You have the gut to say it is fake? Wait perhaps when it will be confirmed as in the case of madam Kemi

And now, The misguided istrative reprisals came one week after the Gazette exposed how President Muhammadu Buhari appointed his junior media aide Bashir Ahmad to supervise the newly-established National Production Monitoring System (NPMS) — a powerful and lucrative division at the DPR on February 15.

Guess your eyes don clear now? Guess you can see that the government has not issued any rebuttal about this corruption or sued the news outlet? Have Bashir Ahmed said pim? Hausa-fulani just dey use una head play kalokalo.

The system is very difficult to fight.

All in the name of this nepotistic government to save face, they keep embarrassing themselves!

Corruption

Anything else

So na true; buhari is a cow
