A group under the auspices of Concerned Citizens of Nigeria has called on the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and its Group CEO, Mele Kyari, to provide full transparency on fuel importation and alleged subsidy payments, despite the recent fixing of local refineries.
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, the group’s National Coordinator, Okwa Dan, condemned the continued importation of fuel while Dangote Refinery is producing and exporting refined petroleum.
He questioned why NNPCL plans to import one million tons of fuel in February, despite local refining capacity.
The group also raised concerns over disguised subsidy payments, despite the official removal of subsidies by the Tinubu administration.
The Concerned Citizens accused NNPCL of economic sabotage, questioning why it prioritizes foreign refiners over local production. They urged the government to buy from Dangote Refinery to save forex, strengthen the local economy, and reduce inflationary pressure instead of weakening the Naira with unnecessary imports.
The Concerned Citizens of Nigeria emphasized that the time for deception and economic waste is over.
They urged President Tinubu to act decisively, end fuel importation, support local refining, and protect Nigeria’s economic interests.
