Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, yesterday, described as mere fabrication, allegations by her traducers that she spent N10 billion in leasing jets for her use. The minister, who spoke in an interaction with some senior journalists in Abuja, said she was being framed by her accs for merely ri to change the Nigerian oil industry for the benefit of the country. According to her, the lease of jets to run the highly technical and competitive oil industry is a common practice around the globe, since it is more cost- effective than buying. The minister said it would have been unwise for anyone to spend N10 billion in leasing jets, an amount which can conveniently buy three new jets depending on the type. She, however, itted that although the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, had a jet that was meant for her use, she was advised by aviation experts to sell it off since it was bought and parked abroad for some years, thereby raising safety concerns. The minister said the hiring of jets for official function was a normal practice which had been in existence since the inception of NNPC and that it was meant to enable the corporation carry out its oversight functions over players in the sector. [b]She said: “When I started work as minister, there was an oil aircraft but I was advised not to use it because of safety issues and we had to lease some planes for use. I was advised that it was more cost effective to lease planes for our operations. “Based on what we were advised, and having added the figures, we felt satisfied it was better to be leasing plane for use. For the N10 billion, one can buy three planes. I don’t know how they came about that huge figure ascribed to me. It is unfortunate for some people to just sit down and accuse people without any fact or figure.[/quote] Describing the allegation of spending the huge amount on private jets as disappointing, Madueke said the NNPC, under her, had been most transparent since its inception, as she had tried to improve the system of corporate governance in accordance with global best practice. The minister, however, decried the tendency by some Nigerians to bring her down, pointing out that she would not be distracted by such antics since she had a job to do for the country. On the non-age of the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, the minister blamed it on several factors, among them, key players in the oil industry and vested political interests in the country. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/n10bn-jet-story-against-me-mere-fabrication-alison-madueke/ 12 Likes 1 Share |

the fear of jail time is the beginning of wisdom, but if these folks really want to apply wisdom they better start investing in the NIGERIAN PRISON SYSTEM because all things being equal i see a lot of people in there for "stealing" sorry "corruption"

Nne, you don't have to waste your time on this crazy allegation. This allegation, Sanusi's $40 allegation, and Oduah's allegations were the test run organized media campaigns PR jobs for APC. There has never been any substance to it, and they knew it, but the practice gave rise to what we have today: a better cordinated campaign than GEJ's.

Madam don't you think it's more appropriate to explain to the national Assembly which you and JEG have been dodging for over a year! Explaining yourself to journalists is not the same as clearing your name with the NA. Madam do the needful and oblige the NA 21 Likes 1 Share |

politricks:so because someone wrote on a piece of paper she's "a five president" you now hate her with a ion? How did you develop enough hate inside of your soul to be able to point to another person and say you hate them "with a ion"? I'm PDP to the bone but can't name anyone I "hate" in APC just because I'm not a hateful person. You might have a personal issue. you're someone's future father. 16 Likes |

Oga Madam said a lot but without actually saying anything. So here are the questions that need answers. How much was the actual sum she used in leasing jets fot her use? How much was the NNPC jet sold for? and where is the money? If her istration is the most transparent since its inception, where is the corporation's audited annual report as demanded by law? Where is the missing(uned for) $1.48 billion as revealed by PWC report. In fact where is the report itself? Why has it been kept under wraps since it was submitted to the president? 18 Likes 1 Share |
