Senate Approves Sack Of BPE Boss

Nigerian Senate

The Senate has approved the sack of the Director General, Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE) Miss Bolanle Onagoruwa.

Lawmakers gave the approval while considering the recommendations of the report of the committee investigating the privatization and commercialization activities of the BPE from 1999 to date.

The committee recommended that the Director General be relieved of her appointment for gross incompetence in the management of the BPE and for the illegal and fraudulent sale of five percent Federal Government shares in Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited.

The Senate approved all the recommendations in the report which also includes that the former Directors General of the enterprise, Mallam Nasir el Rufai and Mrs. Irene Chibgue be reprimanded by the National Council on Privatization (NCP) for seeking approval directly from the president instead of the NCP as stipulated in the Public Enterprises Act 1999.

Meanwhile, the 2012 Appropriation Act has passed second reading in the senate.
