Fasheun, Adams, Dokubo Others Threaten To Sue NNPC Over Contract Termination

The pipeline security contractors have threatened to sue the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) over the termination of contracts signed during the last administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

In an open letter to President Muhamadu Buhari by the contractors a copy of which was made available to THISDAY, they stated that the NNPC must, immediately, settle its three months' indebtedness having fulfilled their own part of the deal. Â The security companies are Dr Fredrick Faseun's New Age Nigeria Limited; Otunba Gani Adams' Donyx Global Concept Limited; Alhaji Asari Dokubo's ATEF Nigeria Limited; Chief Bibo Pere Ajube's Galery Security Services Limited; Chief Joshua Machiever's Bajeros Nigeria Limited; Chief Omo's Close Body Protection Limited and Izon Ibe' Security Limited.

'It should be known that the contractors had valid and duly signed contract agreements with the management of the NNPC to protect the pipelines for a period of three months', the letter read in part, saying instead of NNPC fulfilling its own part of the deal, 'the public perception of the NNPC Pipeline Security and Surveillance job was that former President Goodluck Jonathan gave the job to the contractors on the platter of politics'.
