NUPRC denies workers’ allegations

The management of Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has dismissed as wild, baseless and unfounded, allegations by some elements in the workers’ union, accusing it of wrongdoings.
   
In a statement, yesterday, the regulatory agency challenged those behind the allegations to publish details of the wrongdoings and produce other documentary evidence to support their case.
  
It also denied wasting money on sensitisation workshops and renovation of offices across the country.  It accused the union of being out to tarnish the image of the commission’s Chief Executive, Gbenga Komolafe, and undermine his outstanding achievements. 
   
It also defended recent recruitments in the commission, saying the exercise was done in strict compliance with procedures and compliance certificates issued by relevant agencies. 
    
The commission, therefore, urged the public to disregard the allegations sponsored by some political jobbers seeking to replace its management.
