TVC E, NEWS – Minister of state for Petroleum resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has disclosed that he loses an average of $1 million every year for serving Nigeria.
Speaking at a forum in Abuja on Sunday, Kachikwu said the call to public service is a unique opportunity that must not be betrayed, but comes with a lot of sacrifices.
“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.
“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 is together.” he said.
