THE Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPC Ltd, has described as false, some media reports the GMD, Male Kyari, has been secretly awarding contracts for the rehabilitation of pipelines across the country to Northern Oil Cabals.
Responding to the allegations, through a statement signed by its management, the NNPC stated categorically that the reports are fallacious and designed to bring the good name of the company into disrepute.
It explained that the corporation has remained deeply committed to adhering to the highest standards of transparency and global best practices in all of its activities and this includes its contracting process.
It stated that the contracts were advertised and were awarded based on rigorous evaluation criteria and in line with industry norms.
“The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has been drawn to reports in an isolated section of the media, alleging underhand dealings in the award of contracts for the rehabilitation of pipelines across the country.
“It is crucial to provide accurate information to address any misconceptions and ensure transparency in our operations.
“To re-emphasise our commitment to transparency, NNPC subjected the selection process to a competitive tender guided by the Bureau of Public Procurement, BPP, standards, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission expertise, and the active involvement of a Transaction Advisor. We also had representations from NEITI and the Ministry of Justice in the project development team and the evaluation exercise.
