On Tuesday, the Nigeria Ethnic Nationality Youth Leaders Council Worldwide (NENYLCW) issued a statement urging the immediate removal of Mele Kyari as General Managing Director (CEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL).

The youth leaders accused NNPCL under Kyari’s leadership of sabotaging efforts to establish indigenous refineries, benefiting a subsidy cartel. They cited recent revelations by Devakumar Edwin, Vice President of Oil and Gas at Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), who alleged that International Oil Companies (IOCs) were hindering the Dangote Refinery’s operations by inflating crude oil prices.

According to the NENYLCW, this situation is unacceptable and undermines the hopes of citizens for lower fuel costs. They noted that previous promises by Kyari to start the Port Harcourt refinery within two weeks have not been fulfilled, and that the NNPCL is preventing the local refining of petroleum products.

The youth leaders demanded that Kyari resign or face a national protest that would shut down the country. They urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to dismiss Kyari if he fails to step down voluntarily.

The statement further condemned the NNPCL’s alleged frustration of indigenous refining to maintain its monopoly on fuel imports. They called upon the National Assembly to investigate the NNPCL under Kyari’s leadership within 7 days….[CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING▶▶]
