Hope Gen.Buhari is not been biased anymore now by giving such exaulted position to South East indigine.We need to be patient with this man,in my opinion I believe we've gotten a president that will take this country to next level.Sai Buhari! LENTULUS BATIATUS
Congratulations to IBE. Hope some ignarance igbos will not complian of been marginalize...????
And some idiot will come here & say Buhari is only appoint Hausa into his cabinet. Meanwhile, we could all see that the guy is carefully selecting reputable technocrats to hold most sensitive post irrespective of where they come from.
This appointment has further prove that.
I want to see what those stupid people have to say to this.
Good appointment. I hope he will be outstanding.
Its OFFICIAL!!!

For those idiots who have been insinuating nonsense about this positive change can see for themselves that this government is for Nigerians. Linda ikeji, if you like don't post this comment because is your way.
Why do you refer to him as Doctor. I thought you said he was a lawyer
You are a fool not to know that the new NNPC boss is a Nigerian..If you are too lazy to read the story, then don't comment stupidly.
Sorry the man is not from south east but south south. That is delta state. Please check before you talk
My Delta brother, Ibe Kachukwu going places.
@Anonymous you are the only Idiot here coward, so people that make complains for what is not favoring them are stupid, have you not seen the result now that the dictator conscience have been touched, why not remain silent and dumb on the day of your trials when you are cheated bloody fool.
This is change
This is change
Change has come to stay. Bravo PMB!!!!!!
Change has come to stay.Up PMB.
While I continue to watch and try to keep an open mind on the ongoing appointments been made by the President, I find my sense of impartiality been stretched to a breaking point at the obvious sectionalization of these appointments to Nigerians of Northern extraction.
I see this NNPC GMD appointment as masterful sleight of hand by the President. I ask the following to be noted:
1)why would the President go and pluck a serving Vice-Chair of one of the most nebulous IOCs in Nigeria as the new GMD? How does this not present as a bias against other IOCs (not that I am an admirer of them by the way as they are all brothers of the Seven Sisters - in case you are wondering, google the seven sisters, the mothers of todays major IOCs) and Domestic Oil?
This is akin to President Obama plucking a Chevron Executive to head the US Energy Department! Under no circumstance or consideration can this not stink!
To further add insult to injury, at the swearing-in stands the CEO of Exxon himself! Anyone who is familiar with gentlemen/women of this caliber would know that an employee who has risen to the level of Vice Chair in a bureaucratic conglomerate like Exxon will forever be loyal to his true masters. I assure you that this is one of the main problems with Okonjo who after 20+ yrs at the World Bank found it difficult to answer to her new master, Nigeria when she became Finance Minister.
2) So Mr. President has presented a wolf in sheep's clothing for all those feeling jittery about his Northern agenda, he presents an Igbo man who I can assure you is no more Igbo (at least in thinking and character) than you can call an axe a hoe. The new GMD is a full Exxon American from the top of his head to the sole of his wing tips.
3)If you are a student of history, go back and you will see that the IOCs have always been comfortable with Northerners in charge. Afterall they owe a huge part of what they are today to the first 40+ yrs of their growth under the Northern hegemony. While we may not be back to square one, we are certainly going around.
4) As those of us waiting for the appointment of Ministers in September, by the time you get to that dining table, you will find beautiful dishes with no food in them. Right now Mr. President is busy fixing his people into key positions that are and will be the engine room of Nigeria. So you will find that indeed, he will adhere to the zoning formula for Ministerial appointments but I assure you, these ministers will be next to powerless and mere paper tigers. For instance, I will dare the new Minister for Information whom I believe will be a non-northerner to cross the new NCC Chairman. Likewise, I will dare the Minister of Petroleum (if one is indeed appointed) to get in the middle of this cosy relationship between Mr. President and Exxon. And from what I understand the new streamlining of the CBN and the financial sector including the almighty corrosive banks will all but render a Minister of Finance useless.
These are just a few examples, but please use them as templates to consider past and future appointments of President Buhari.
There is an ill wind blowing.
Congrats to him.
@Tochi,na so una dey like fall igbo hands,you nor sabi read abi ur head nor carry book?Na people like una go just look picture begin dey make noise up and down.
He earned a Master of Laws and Ph.D in Laws from Harvard University. That is why he is referred to as a Doctor.
Common! He holds a doctorate degree! Are u that ignorant?????
Dem take pitmans shorthand write am na im make am small like that. LOL! Dem don congealed all the problems to one piece.
Shut up. He will appoint 20 hausas and one south-south, 30 hausas and one south east. 15 hausas and 2 south west. Tinubu d sell out where you dey. Dem don throw wey u put cabbage. Shio!
Chudi you are the greater fool if you don't get the sarcasm in that comment.. how come a biafran is chosen as the nnpc boss in nigeria the supposed zoo country, im sure by now you people will see that the problem is actually within you guys no hausa nor yoruba hates you,learn how to embrace other tribes.. in the meantime, lets see how you will manage the oil sector
Go back to sch pls
I guess you are too daft to understand what a PhD is
Dr of law
He is a Phd holder that's why he's been called a doctor.
You're the reason why these companies bring in expats to run things. The information is all clearly in front of you but yet somehow you manage to run to incorrect conclusions.
This is the way people should be for employed for jobs.. on Merit! No one can deny he deserves it and for all those nicompoos causing discord with the tribalistic angle, they should shut up and forever be silent. Nationalist and Merit-based system is what this nation will continue to employ by God's grace
Whatever is there so much oil in southeast if there is at all.The game is still on
Congrats!
U r so daft, imagine how much time and energy u had to waste writing this rubbish...
So delta state is no longer part of biafra again abi? Lol.

Haba! Your spellings! Sad.
So,some of the other appointees were not serving in some 'big' capacity before they got plucked?

Congratulations to the man, Dr Ibe Kachikwu. I always worry about this nation that has refused to rise above ethnic sentiments. And most of these people are so so ignorant and untutored. Dr Kachikwu is from Onitcha Ugbo in Delta State which is in South South Zone not I repeat not South East. But what has that got to do with this appointment we should all hail. And let me tell all those who may wish to know: South Easterners are the most accommodating tribe in Nigeria but they are the most vilified. They want to go , you don't want to let them go, leave them alone you won't . Haaba you ethnic bigotries! Which one una dey?
