Hahaha, l still dey laugh.See what region of the country where all the funded agency DGs come from and see where the work to pay agency guys come from.Its funny all the petroleum and products e.g NLG DG as well as majority owners of the oil blocks and those clamouring for sale of NLNG come from.This is serious disaster for the country,with the army also from that sector
The Oil and Gas Free Zone Authority and the Nigerian Content Monitoring Board are agencies that have a direct connection with the petroleum sector, and the new heads are not from the North. Receive sense!
