NNPC MUST GO

Opinion

By Suleiman A. Suleiman Let’s face it, Nigeria has a problem called Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL. That problem begins with the organization’s rather ambiguous identity. ‘NNPC’ is one of the foremost household names in Nigeria, well known to nearly every Nigerian adult. Yet, it is still often difficult where or how exactly to place it among various categorizations of organisations in this country. Is the NNPC a state-owned enterprise, a public service provider like a university or yet, a private company like Innoson Motors? Or is the NNPC all three at once? If the first, then we should ask: what enterprise? How enterprising has been the NNPC over the past 30 years, or indeed, since its inception in 1977? If the second, then we must ask: what service or utility doe...

Uncategorized
