…Congratulates Dr. Orji on Appointment
A statement by the Corporation’s spokesman, Dr. Kennie
Obateru, quoted the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari, as
applauding President Muhammadu Buhari for the wonderful decision of appointing
Dr. Orji as the Executive Secretary of NEITI to continue the massive reforms
currently in progress in the oil and gas industry.
Mallam Kyari, who described Dr. Orji as a competent
technocrat, EITI expert and resource governance
professional, said he has been deeply involved in NEITI and NNPC
engagements on reforms of the oil and gas industry over the past decade and
that the appointment was most timely.
He noted that as a supporting company of the EITI at the
international level, NNPC was ready to sustain its collaboration with NEITI
under Dr. Orji’s leadership in the key areas of the agency’s industry audit
process, exchange of information and data, commodity trading, contract
transparency, beneficial ownership, mainstreaming and overall oil and gas
industry reforms under the EITI/NEITI framework.
The NNPC helmsman expressed optimism that Dr. Orji would
help consolidate the gains so far achieved by the NNPC-NEITI Joint Committee on
Remediation set up to ensure speedy implementation of all the findings and recommendations contained in NEITI
Independent Audit Reports of the oil and gas industry.
