The Christian Youth Forum of Nigeria (CYFN) has called for the immediate dismissal of Mele Kyari, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
This demand comes in response to the persistent fuel shortages that have led to long queues at filling stations.
On Monday, it was observed that fuel queues had reappeared at several stations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), with some stations unable to dispense fuel due to supply shortages.
In a statement issued by its national president, Rev. Phrank Ochiga, the CYFN criticized Kyari’s leadership, describing it as disastrous. The group highlighted several controversies during Kyari’s tenure, including allegations of subsidy scams, the importation of substandard petroleum products, and the mismanagement of the Port Harcourt Refinery.
The CYFN stated that Kyari’s continued presence in office is an affront to Nigerians, and they urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove him immediately to restore order in the petroleum sector. The group also called on Nigerians to join in demanding Kyari’s resignation, declaring that they would no longer tolerate incompetence, corruption, and mismanagement in the sector.
