Shameless NNPCL Board’s Jamboree To Rwanda

It’s such a deep show of shame and self vote of no confidence by the board of NNPCL to have chartered 5 private aircrafts to fly to Rwanda in the name of a retreat.
Are there no hotels to host NNPCL so-called retreat/workshop that is entirely about NNPCL Upstream and Downstream sector of Nigeria? Why the jamboree in Kigali, Rwanda instead of Lagos, Abuja, Warri?
What aspect of NNPCL Upstream and Downstream sector are they supposed to learn from in Kigali?

NGC is another subsidiary of NNPCL that is a redundant company of government that has no relevance.
The Upstream is fully operated by IOCs and private Indigenous companies like ND Western, Seplat, Heritage, Renaissance Africa Energy, etc.
Are there no longer hotels to hold NNPCL retreats in Nigeria? Is it everything Nigerian government and its agencies will export to foreign countries?
I think Bayo Ojulari and his team should grow up and manage NNPCL with sincerity of purpose. The Kigali retreat is waste of resources that will further drain the national treasury.
As a shell technocrat Ojulari should abide strictly to uphold Shell business principles that earn the company as one of the foremost oil companies globally.
The NNPCL Kigali retreat was very useless, a sign of an unserious board.
