A Scandal Rocks Nigeria’s Petroleum Sector: NNPC Admits Owning Oil Marketers $6bn, Party Chieftain Demands Sack of Top Official
In a shocking revelation, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has confessed to owing its petrol suppliers a staggering $6 billion. The admission comes after weeks of denial, leaving many wondering what could be the reason behind this staggering debt.
Segun Sowunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), believes that this situation demands swift action. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Sowunmi urged the immediate sacking of Mele Kyari, the Group Managing Director of the NNPCL.
Notably, Sowunmi also criticized the President Bola Tinubu administration, labeling it incompetent and irresponsible. This latest development further adds to the uncertainty and chaos surrounding the petroleum sector in Nigeria.
With a population of over 200 million people, Nigeria’s energy crisis is of global concern. As the NNPC struggles to find a solution to its debt and the country faces increasing economic instability, one can’t help but wonder what this means for the average citizen.
