The Niger Delta Youth Congress (NDYC) has lauded the exceptional leadership of the immediate past Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari and condemned calls for his probe.
In a press statement on Thursday by the group’s National Coordinator, Comrade Israel Uwejeyan, NDYC stated that the call for his probe is ill-advised and an orchestrated campaign of calumny aimed at discrediting Kyari’s legacy of reforms in the oil and gas sector.
According to the group, Kyari’s achievements, including the transformation of the NNPC into a commercially oriented entity, rehabilitation of refineries, and efforts to combat oil theft and pipeline vandalism are worthy of commendation.
It also noted his promotion of the “Decade of Gas” initiative, which aims to transition Nigeria from an oil-dependent economy to a gas-powered industrial nation.
NDYC expressed disappointment that the group calling for the probe, “Concerned Citizens Against Corruption,” would peddle conjecture and half-truths without verified evidence to substantiate their claims.
The group appealed to the authorities to disregard the call for a probe, but instead focus on promoting transparency and accountability in the oil and gas sector.
While commending Kyari’s leadership, NDYC described his tenure as a “case study in leadership transformation, corporate turnaround, and energy sector evolution.”
“Mr. Kyari should be commended, not condemned. His tenure should be studied in policy schools as a case study in leadership transformation, corporate turnaround, and energy sector evolution.
“We urge the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation to disregard this sponsored circus and focus on legal reforms that will continue to uphold justice, transparency, and institutional integrity.”
