leaders of the Oodua People's Congress (OPC), Dr. Frederick Fasehun
and Otunba Gani Adams, have written an open letter to President
Muhammadu Buhari over unpaid fees allegedly owed them by the NNPC.
Together with other beneficiaries of the controversial Pipeline
Security and Surveillance contracts
they claimed that they had a three-month contract with the NNPC, from
March 15 to June 15, which they delivered on but are yet to be paid.
The NNPC had on June 15, terminated the contract awarded under
President Goodluck Jonathan to various private security firms to
safeguard pipelines against vandals.
They alleged that the NNPC has refused to pay its indebtedness to
them, insisting that they are demanding their entitlement and not a
handout or favour.
They debunked claims that President Jonathan was the one who gave them
the contract in order to secure his re-election, adding that due
process was followed between them and the Management of the NNPC,
before the contract was awarded.
They threatened to sue the NNPC if the outstanding fees aren't paid.
The companies are New Age Nigeria Limited (Fasehun); Donyx Global
Concept (Adams); ATEF Nigeria Limited (Asari Dokubo); Galery Security
Services Limited (Bibo Ajube); Bajeros Nigeria Limited (Joshua
Machiever); Close Body Protection Limited (High Chief Omo) and Izon
Ibe Security Limited.
