Petroleum Marketing Company Boss, Haruna Momoh, Sacked

Managing Director of the Petroleum Product Marketing Company (PPMC) Prince Haruna Momoh, has been sacked. PPMC is a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) whose five executive directors were also sacked yesterday.
In the haze of sack that is sweeping across the federal government owned oil giant, a Presidency source confirmed that it is a way by which the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) wants to take full control of the system, saying: “we have power now, while PDP is still in control (of NNPC).”
The new Group Managing Director of the Corporation, who was appointed late last week, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu announced the sacking of eight Group Executive Directors and promotion of four Group General Managers yesterday. [myad]
