The Yoruba Council of Youths Worldwide YCYW as call for immediate replacement of the NNPC Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mele Kyari.
This was said in a press release personally signed by the socio cultural youth organization President, Aare Oladotun Hassan and made available to Freshvoice Newsmedia on Wednesday morning.
Here is the detail of the release: THE UNENDING FUEL SCARCITY : THE INCOMPETENCE OF MELE KYARI AS CEO NNPC LTD. YCYW CALL FOR IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT.
We are constraint to make this demand after careful review of situation across the country since the begining of this year 2022, it all started with importation of adulterated fuel that caused millions of Nigerians unbearable damage to their vehicles without any verifiable compensation nor apology from the NNPC till date, afterwards the bad turned worst situation is the constant internal meddling and scarcity with no genuine reasons.
The next Nigerians witnessed is the astronomical hike in the pump price of fuel and diesel to the tune of 250/ltr and 750-800/ltr respectively.
Aside the undeniable overbearing consequences of PMS and Diesel in our day to day activities, poor coordination and reckless management of the NNPC: being the apex Nigeria’s oil management company inevitably remains the greatest negative factor responsible for the hash and dwindling economy downturn leading to the high poverty rates in the country.
Businesses that relies solely on diesels are dieing in droves on a daily basis, unbearable cost of transportation and movements of goods and services skyrocketed which consequently influenced the constant high inflation rates at double digit.
As the supreme Council for all Yoruba Youths globally, we have no choice than to rise in defence of Nigerian masses, for it is unarguable that the NNPC management under Mele Kyari is incompetent, weak and incapacitated, hence our clarion call for his immediate replacement with a better competent hand.
While relying on the cooperation of the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources ably headed by President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Mr Mele Kyari for gross incompetence, having destroyed the President’s goodwill among Nigerian masses, as his incompetence has brought about untold hardship on the citizens.
Yoruba Council of Youths Worldwide shall be matching in protest to press home our demands should the needful is not done in a week time from date of this press release(On or before 17th November, 2022).
President Muhammadu Buhari must look at the South West to fish a new head for the apex Nigeria oil management company NNPC Ltd, so as to correct the bad impression that the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited is the exclusive preserve of the Northern Nigerian Petroleum Cooperation limited for the obvious over dominance by the Northerners in the company.
Since 2012, NO Southwesterner have been opportuned to head the NNPC despite their obvious sterling records and qualified personnel within and outside the NNPC.
We hereby reiterate our demand in the interest of fairness and equitable justice.
