Open letter to Group MD, NNPC

SIR, I am strongly compelled by recent developments at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), particularly the recent appointment of Dr.  Babatunde Victor  Adeniran  as Group Executive Director, (Commercial & Investment) of NNPC,  to write you.
Ordinarily, in seasons such as we are today where government is in dire need of people of like minds; true prefects of their classes with unassailable character and hallowed pedigree to reposition NNPC as well as the nation at large, a private letter would have been ideal but because as the saying goes, when a well-behaved child returns home with double honours, it is no longer his immediate family members that celebrate but the entire community. Therefore, to me, celebrating this great step in the right direction as exemplified in Dr.Adeniran’s appointment would not be properly captured in a private letter hence an open letter has become inevitable.
But more than anything else, an open letter would expose the antics of mischief makers, as well as ensure that they are put in check or better still, confined to the waste bin where they rightly belong. Conversely, too, as NNPC begins a fresh start at recovery driven by competence and experience translated into putting as they say, round pegs in round holes such positive moves would be applauded to further deepen the ongoing re-organization. Never forget sir that the subject matter of the NNPC borders on national concern as opposed to personal interest that can only be handled in the open since it affects every citizen of Nigeria.
