Sack Adelabu, Mele Kyari now or face nationwide protest – NANS to Tinubu
The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has
urged for the removal of Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO)
of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) and the Minister
of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.
NANS is concerned about the challenges faced by Nigerians as
a result of inconsistent electricity supply, high tariffs, and the ongoing fuel
crisis.
NANS has made the decision to organize a nationwide protest
on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, and has asked for the support of fellow Nigerians.
In a joint statement endorsed by Senator Akinteye Babatunde
Afeez, the Senate President, NANS Headquarters, and the heads of its 5 regions,
it was expressed with concern that both Kyari and Adelabu’s leadership roles
have played a part in the mismanagement and mishandling of crucial energy
resources. This situation has been observed to have exacerbated the nation’s
current state of turmoil, as noted by many Nigerians.
