...Says it has helped to revive Nigeria's oli sector

Confederation of All Progressives Congress Support Groups (CASG) has appreciated the template of development deployed by the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited , Mal Mele Kyari to revive the country's giant national oil company.

According to the support groups, Mele Kyari made tremendous contributions at the National Assembly on the Petroleum Industrial Act (PIA), which led to its actualization and subsequent commercialization and other positive reforms of the oil and gas sector with Nigeria benefiting from the template and will continue to reap potential economic rewards from the venture for years to come that will benefit generations yet unborn.

Speaking during a press conference held at Headquarters of CASG,Abuja ,the Director General,Prof. Muhammad Kailani said ,"Mele Kyari has made a milestone in the overall development of Nigeria’s Oil and Gas sector, through his discovery of many oil wells across the country and repositioning of the NNPCL through his Transparency, Accountability, Productivity and Efficiency (TAPE) programme.

While stating that those calling for his replacement are mere mischief makers, who are trying to distract President Bola Tinubu from the good works he is doing, The DG furthest said: "A critical assessment of the chronicle of Group Managing Directors (GMD), of the NNPC since its inception about 42 years ago, clearly indicates that Mallam Mele Kyari, is adjudge to be the best result- oriented Group Managing Director and subsequent Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

He further stated : "Those crying wolf and singing songs of woes at their backyards for selfish reasons must desist henceforth. They should allow Mr President and Mallam Mele Kyari, to concentrate on performing their constitutional roles for the betterment of our dear country. "

Speaking about the former Governor of Kaduna State political ordeal,Prof Kailani said ,"It is another interesting dimension unfolding in the political space .

According to him, El- Rufai is busy using every available space and time to criticize the Bola Ahmaed Tinubu’s government in the hope to attract attention to himself.

"Having woefully failed to secure the post of the Chief of Staff to Mr President or the position of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), he has taken criticism of the Bola Tinubu’s government as a pastime.

"It is alleged that after realizing that his efforts are not achieving the desired result, he is now romancing with the National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP). This could be a preamble of an intention of moving with his dilapidated camp to the SDP. Only time will tell.

"Unfortunately, It would seem that Mallam Nasir el- Rufai, like some people in Nigeria, still believes in the theory of the George Orwell’s Animal Farm, where some animals are more equal than others. He is hereby advised to discard this illusion and comes to terms with the reality that Nigeria has come of age."

Meanwhile , the Support groups spoke on the skyrocketing prices of foodstuff, goods and services ,adding ,"Shylock merchants, foodstuff vendors and traders have hijacked fuel subsidy removal and crunch of the Naira value as an excuse to subject Nigerians to unwarranted and untold hard ship in all spheres of livelihood, through highly inflated price tags to these essentials.

"The Naira has substantially appreciated against the Dollar for some time now, but prices still remain the same and are likely to remain so for a long time to come. Fortunately, the federal government is intervening by going through direct engagement with dealers and traders in the markets to reverse the unfortunate trend."
