FALSE AND BASELESS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE ES NCDMB, ENGR. @wabote_simbi, AND THE HMSPR, CHIEF @HETimipreSylva BY JACKSON UDE (@jacksonpbn) IN POINTBLANK ONLINE NEWS

Our attention has been drawn to a spurious and libellous online publication in Pointblank News...
...of 10th February 2021, in which one Jackson Ude, purported that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) Engr. Simbi Wabote, and the Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva received bribes to...
...undermine the Nigerian Content policy in the award of @nigeriaLNG Train 7 EPC contract.

The report epitomizes a futile attempt to soil the image of public officials who have worked hard to develop local content in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
