The oil giant, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC has painted a gloomy picture of its operations.
It has also debunked the misrepresentation about its corporate image and objectives, especially as it borders on the relationship with the National Assembly.
Speaking at an interactive session with members of the House Committee on Finance at the ongoing probe on non-remittances of revenue generated by government agencies, the Group Executive Director, GED, Finances, Bernard Oti said it was not well with the company.
“Tragedy has befallen us,” he said
Oti disclosed that corporation was not running a normal operation following incessant crude theft, vandalism of its pipelines as well as killings of its staff.
“Tragedies befall us; we are not running a normal operation, crude theft is incessant and our men are being killed,” he stated emotionally at the weekend.
He said that it was these unfortunate challenges that the corporation is currently faced and putting frantic efforts to surmount.
According to the corporation, it was not in its character to shun parliament’s invitation as been perceived or speculated in the media, adding that it was a responsible corporate entity citizen with Nigeria as its focal point.
