I lost $1m Yearly Serving Nigeria- Kachikwu

By Correspondent

Dr Ibe Kachikwu, the Minister of State for Petroleum, has revealed that on a yearly basis, he lost one million dollars for serving Nigeria. He said that though his former job was earning him more money, he took the decision to serve Nigeria consequent upon the love he has for his fatherland. The Minister also stated that all hands must be busy in the process of building a lasting institution that would secure the future of the country and improve on the standard of living of Nigerians. Kachikwu said, “I believe that this country needs help. I believe that it is about time we began to perform for the young and upcoming. I believe that the sheer capacity of this country is unimaginable. I do not know of any country in the world with our population, our resources, our intellect, our flamboyance, our family nexus, everything are together. “The call to public service for me was unique. I was Vice President of Exxon Mobil West Africa and I was suddenly called to serve. “In serving, I lose a lot of money, if not at least a million dollars every year by virtue of being a Minister, but the thing is, I am directed by the voice of God. “Everything in this country is together; the only thing that is not together is the leadership and in God’s name, we are bound to change that. “In every little space that you have, and in my own case petroleum, you have to make an absolute change and so I am not worried about the price of oil. “It can be five dollars for all I care. I am worried about the direction of the industry; I am worried about changing things the way they have never done before. “I am worried about creating opportunities that exist; I am worried about improving the standards of living; I am worried about encouraging opportunities in the sector. “I am worried about opening up those opportunities that have existed for years.”
