Ethnic Youth Leaders Laud Kyari’s Efforts To Clear Fuel Supply Disruption 

Ethnic Youth Leaders have poured encomium on the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, and the Executive Vice President (Downstream) of the company, Adedapo Segun, for their relentless efforts towards clearing the current fuel supply disruption.

The Ethnic Youth Leaders in a statement jointly signed by their spokesperson, Malam Kabiru, and deputy acting president, NG Emmanuel, on Wednesday, said Kyari was committed to ensuring downstream energy stability in line with Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Tinubu.

They, therefore, faulted the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) for calling for the resignation of the the NNPCL GCEO, saying he has not rested on his oars but working round the clock to ensure adequate supply and availability of fuel despite daunting challenges, urging the students who are future leaders to appreciate and support his efforts in addressing the energy challenges.

They reminded NANS that the Kyari-led NNPCL was not complacent in addressing the situation and has already assured Nigerians that the ongoing fuel scarcity and queues will be cleared out by this Wednesday.

“Just when NANS is threatening mass protest NNPCL under Kyari has given Nigerians its words that the company currently has an availability of products exceeding 1.5 billion litres, which can last for at least 30 days.

“Like we and other Nigerians already know, the three-day disruption in distribution being experienced is due to logistical issues, which has since been resolved by resolved by NNPLC but doing that ideally requires more time to return to normalcy. And unfortunately, however, some persons in the business are taking advantage of this situation to maximise profits.

“And fortunate enough, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (lPMAN) concurred that with intervention of the NNPCL, the queues will disappear from filling stations as more products will be available for lifting by marketers and the supply will be stabilised,” they stated.
