Dear Alhaji(Engr.) Abdullah Bukar,
With a great sense of satisfaction and joy, I felicitate with you on your appointment
as Council member of the Midstream and Down Stream Infrastructure Fund Board of the new NNPC Ltd.
At a time I had lost much of the respect I have for President Mohammed Buhari for his increasing preference for nepotism and partisanship above merit in the choice of appointees into his administration, I dare say your choice as a proven technocrat/engineer with priceless experience in the oil and gas industry leaves/erases much of my doubt if the President values merit at all.
As you bring your wealth of experience and global connections in the industry to bear in your board’s duties, no doubt it’s a sign of progress in the years ahead for the industry and the nation at large. It also springs renewed hope for equitable and just implementation of the PIA to better the common good.
Left with me, you should be Chairing the Board, by every honest criteria applied in determining who the cap most fits.
A big congratulations Alhaji Bukar, looking forward to reenergise the work relations you have built over the years.
Regards,
