The Coalition of Nigerian Patriots for Good Governance has tackled the management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) over the continued shutdown of the country’s refineries.
It alleged gross mismanagement that threatens Nigeria’s oil sector and economic recovery.
At a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, Comrade Ibrahim Musa, the coalition’s National Coordinator, said: “Let it be on record that millions of taxpayers’ money has been invested in the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna refineries, with several reports confirming that some of these refineries had started test-running and were functional.
“Yet the NNPCL, without transparency, without recourse to stakeholders, and without any official technical audit — ordered a shutdown of the facilities. This action is anti-people, anti-progress, and clearly targeted at undermining President Tinubu’s goal of achieving energy self-sufficiency and reducing fuel imports.”
They demanded urgent actions, saying: “We request the intervention of the National Assembly and COREN to immediately launch an independent technical audit of the nation’s refineries and expose the lies surrounding their shutdown.”
The coalition urged the presidency to “clean up the NNPCL, restore staff morale, and bring back professionalism, transparency, and patriotism.”
