A group, Niger Delta Women for Change, has debunked allegations of biased contract awards against the Vice President of NNPCL, Mrs. Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, saying the allegations are baseless and lack substantial evidence.
Addressing Newsmen in Warri during the weekend, Secretary of the group, Juliet Oritsemisan, told journalists that the allegation against Eyesan, were attempts to undermine her significant contributions to nation building, adding that the allegations were also fueled by tribalistic blackmail which threatened the principles of fairness and meritocracy that she upholds.
Oritsemisan said that in spite of the attacks, the EVP remains steadfast in her dedication to the principles of professionalism and inclusivity, noting that her commitment to advancing the energy industry, irrespective of tribal affiliations, stands as a testament to her vision for a unified and prosperous Nigeria.
Clarifying and debunking the allegations against Eyesan, the group said that Eyesan has been a dedicated professional committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and fairness in her role. She therefore, invited “the public, media, and stakeholders to join in rejecting baseless allegations and support leaders like Mrs. Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, who has contribute significantly to the nation’s progress.
