The cooperation is making these appointments amid criticisms that trailed the announcement made by the GMD, Dr Ibe Kachukwu to reorganise the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr Femi Falana, in his reaction the announcement,  described the decision as illegal, pointing out that the move contravenes a part of the Nigerian National Petroleum act.

But Kachikwu has said that he was misunderstood on the issue of unbundling the cooperation, adding that that amount of existing properies in Nigeria is mind blowing and the oil sector is trying to move at a very fast pace.
