Also keep in mind Mr. Dougmel, that Alison Madueke uncovered what was obvious to a lot of Nigerians. As a solution, she is pushing for the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill, which by all media accounts will increase her power greatly in the Federal Government. Do you think it is good for a public servant to become so powerful? Even if she is the wonderful person you say she is, the Petroleum Ministry will have all sorts of powers. It will be a matter of time before a corrupt minister comes and uses those powers for their interests. Do not believe for a moment that this is a great thing coming to Nigeria.
