In an open letter to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, the conveners Kabir Matazu and Danielsi Momoh said the ongoing fuel scarcity has revealed a systemic failure in leadership and operational oversight within NNPCL.
They said despite assurances of resolving fuel scarcity, the situation remains dire, causing untold hardship on Nigerians.
They insist the crisis undermines public confidence and adversely affects the reputation of the presidency and its Renewed Hope agenda.
The protesters criticised the Mele Kyari’s management for failing to operationalize local refineries, despite the Federal Government’s $4 billion investment.
