A coalition of about 26 youth associations across the Niger Delta region, the Niger Delta Coalition have called on President Tinubu to sack the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, over alleged misconducts among others.
The Coalition in a peaceful protest in Warri Delta State had hundreds of its members with placards bearing various inscriptions calling for the sack of the NNPCL boss.
Addressing journalists during the protest, National Coordinator of Niger Delta Youth Alliance (NDYA), Mr Oris Bakpa, urged President Tinubu to remove Kyari from office, and institute a comprehensive inquiry into his conduct.
He said that the agitation for the removal of the NNPCL boss was premised on the alleged financial impropriety, misuse of authority, lack of vision, poor performance and autocratic conduct, among others.
Bakpa lamented that the inability of the NNPCL to operate the moribund refineries had forced the nation to rely on importation of petroleum products with the attendant consequences on the economy.
The protesters were received by a senior staff in the NMDPRA who advised that they take their case to Abuja.
