The Minister of State for Petroleum Dr Ibe Kachukwu says he loses at least $1m a year for serving Nigeria,as a former Vice President Exxon Mobile West Africa, though his former job was one rewarding, but the call to service was for the love of his fatherland, he said according to The Guardian.
“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.
“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,” he said.
