President Bola Tinubu has celebrated Mele Kyari, group chief executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, on his 60th birthday.
Tinubu extended his congratulations to Kyari in a statement
issued on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, presidential spokesperson.
The president commended Kyari’s diligence in transforming
NNPC into a profitable organisation.
Tinubu said the NNPC under Kyari’s leadership recorded
notable achievements, including the resuscitation of two refineries, an
increase in domestic natural gas consumption and a boost in oil production to
1.8 million barrels per day.
He also applauded Kyari’s dedication to service and
professionalism at the NNPC, Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries
(OPEC) and as the first GCEO of NNPC.
“Kyari is a shining example and an embodiment of the ideals
of the Renewed Hope Agenda,” Tinubu said.
“I commend his commitment to creating new opportunities and
ensuring the growth and sustainability of Nigeria’s energy sector.”
Tinubu also prayed to Allah to continue to grant Kyari sound
health, wisdom and strength to serve the nation while mentoring the next
generation of energy sector leaders.
While Tinubu praised Kyari for his leadership at NNPC, no
fewer than 20,000 activists took to the three arms zone in Abuja to demand the
resignation of Kyari on November 5, 2024.
According to the protesters, Kyari’s alleged “incompetent
leadership,” skyrocketing petrol prices, endless queues, and economic hardship
plaguing the nation are reasons for their demand.
