The group also lambasted the Petroleum and Natural Gas Worker Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) and some civil society groups that condemned the frequent changes in the leadership of the NNPC.
NDIMRC, in a statement by its President, Nelly Emma and Secretary, John Sailor said President Jonathan did the right thing by sacking the NNPC board.
It said, “The sacking of the NNPC board, including Mr. Oniwon is a welcome development; President Jonathan should not be condemned, rather he should be commended for taking the bold step; his action is for our national interest.”
“We have been disturbed over the issue of the rot in NNPC and we have been calling for the total overhaul of the corporation, now the process of that overhauling has started with the sacking of Mr. Oniwon and his team and our Labour Leaders should not entertain any fear that the new management may abandon the on-going Turn Around Maintenance and repair of the four refineries intended to put them back on stream to operate at their installed capacity.”
While congratulating the new NNPC management team led by Mr. Yakubu, NDIMRC urged the team to move the Corporation to the next level and promote the Nigerian Local Content by encouraging indigenous Oil and Gas firms that have built capacity over the years as a result of their trust and hope in the Nigerian Content.
“We urge Labour and all Nigerians to support Mr. Yakubu to succeed. The new GMD should know that President Jonathan who appointed him is not a partial man hence he appointed a man like him from Kaduna to head the NNPC and your appointment is the best thing to happen to NNPC at this time and so you must make good use of the opportunity as all eyes are on you right now,” it added.
THE Niger Delta Indigenous Movement for Radical Change (NDIMRC) has hailed the sweeping sack of top management and directors of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The group also lambasted the Petroleum and Natural Gas Worker Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) and some civil society groups that condemned the frequent changes in the leadership of the NNPC.
