Nigeria's Minister of Power Pro. Barth Nnaji
_____________________________________________________
_The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has alleged
that the Minister of Power Prof. Barth Nnaji corruptly enriched
himself, friends and cronies with the ministry’s funds.
The union, through its General Secretary Joe Ajaero, warns
that “Nigerians should not be surprised to wake up one morning
to realize that the Power Sector has been cornered by Prof.
Barth Nnaji and his cronies.”
His words: “Preparatory to the manipulations, Nnaji had
appointed his kinsmen, classmates and others to key sensitive
positions like Bulk Trader, Market Operator, CEOs and others.
“To buttress our position, we challenge Nnaji to respond to the
issues as here understated.
- N395m collected from PHCN allegedly for the Media, for 3 months;
- N280m collected from PHCN allegedly for Nigeria Army
- N200m collected from PHCN allegedly for Unknown Project in the Power Ministry
- N86m collected from PHCN allegedly for Bullet Proof Vehicle
- N3m collected from PHCN and donated to Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT)
- Employment of 20 people in Enugu Zone of PHCN who are his kith and kins as staff two years after the closing date of casual employment and close of PHCN biometrics exercise.
- Refusal to pay Regularized Casual Staff their salaries since February 2012
- Appointment of Geometric staff as Bulk Trader in the Sector thereby giving advantage of load allocation to his company.
- Dual Role as Chairman Geometrics Power Ltd, Chairman Aba Power Ltd and Minister of Power on pretence of blind thrust that is non existent in Nigeria.
- Explain to Nigerians why a man who ran Geometric to bankruptcy and is being rescued by Government owned AMCON should continue to run the affairs of the Power Sector.
- Besides, he should explain his interests on Afam Power Plant and Enugu Electricity Distribution Company which has been our fears of vested interest which we raised earlier.
“Until these issues are addressed the Union will continue to
press for accountability and probity.
“We insist that proper investigation must be conducted on
PHCN before any form of privatization is carried out.
