President Muhammadu Buhari, has ordered the probe into the seeming absence of due process, in the Offices of the Vice President, and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Post-Nigeria has gathered.
The duo have been fingered in the wrongful disengagement of Mrs Maryam Danna, a top shot at the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, NDPHC.
It was gathered on Sunday night, that Mrs Danna, a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, ICAN, and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, FCIT, who was removed in controversial circumstances, was one of the NDPHC General Managers.
However, without any query, the SGF, Babachir Lawal, had issued a letter conveying a notification of disengagement to Mrs Danna, as GM NDPHC, with effect from 10th June, 2016.
Lawal, then announced the dissolution of the Executive Management of the NDPHC by the Federal Government, and directed the Managing Director of the company, to handover to Chiedu Ugbo, a Special Adviser to Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.
The SGF, also directed all the Executive Directors, to handover immediately to the most senior officers in their respective departments.
Curiously, all 12 General Managers of the same status with Mrs Maryam, were allowed to remain in their positions, as they are staff of the company (like Maryam), and not members of the dissolved Executive Management.
Currently, there are allegations that Mrs Danna, a due process advocate, was persecuted by some persons close to some powerful officials in government, who might have felt aggrieved with some of her tough decisions, while she was the Auditor in the NDPHC.
It was learnt that Chiedu Ugbo, Osinbajo’s Adviser, who was appointed, Acting Managing Director, once worked for one of the NDPHC contractors.
There is also a case of an Executive Director in the NDPHC, who never served in the National Youth Service Corp, NYSC, programme but is now the Permanent Secretary in a powerful Federal Ministry, with supervisory powers on the NDPHC.
Buhari, it was learnt, ordered one of the Supervisory Ministers for the NDPHC, to investigate “the case of unlawful disengagement” of Mrs Maryam Danna, and forward the outcome directly to him.
It was further gathered, that the investigating Minister (name withheld), declared the sack as unlawful, as findings cleared Mrs Danna, who hails from Borno State, of any wrongdoing.
The Minister, has since written to Buhari, through the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, for the reinstatement of the official.
The NDPHC, is incorporated under the Companies and Allied Matters Act, CAMA, as a private limited liability company, with terms and conditions of employment and disengagement.
It has a Board which consists of the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as Chairman, six Governors of the six Geo-Political Zones in the country, and four Ministers: namely that of Finance, Power, Petroleum, and Justice.
