NNPCL Insiders Behind Mele Kyari’s Attack-Arewa Youth Assembly
..Urges President Tinubu to intervene
The Arewa Youth Assembly have pleaded with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene in ending the ongoing incessant attacks targeted at the GCEO of NNPCL, Dr Mele Kolo Kyari.
The Speaker of the Arewa Youth Assembly, Mohammed Salihu Danlami made the call in Abuja, via a press statement he signed and sent to the Whistler.
Mr Danlami explains that these attacks are sponsored, perfectly planned and orchestrated by insiders, some senior members of the management staff who are desperate to take over the GCEO’S position. They are actually envious of the gigantic reforms and restructuring brought by Mele Kyari. So they are fighting back, it is always normal for corruption to fight back.
Driven by their selfish and unpatriotic desires, they have used all known tactics to cast asperion on the person of the GCEO, they have sponsored media campaigns, slander, blackmail and have gone as far as organising protests against the GCEO.
To this effect, we plead with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene and put an end to these senseless and baseless attacks.
They are impacting negatively on the GCEO, distracting him from the on going reforms and because of the importance and centrality of the NNPCL to the economy of this country, these attacks are also injurious to the economic reforms and restructuring of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as well as to the Promise of renewed hope agenda.

Nigerian women beg Tinubu for more political slots
… Promise they won’t disappoint
Miffed by the disparity in political appointments under the current administration, Nigerian women have pleaded with President Bola Tinubu to allocate more slots to Nigerian women.
Organisers of 2024 MMS Women of Fortune Hall of Fame Induction and International Women’s leadership summit, made the appeal at the event in Abuja on Wednesday.
Chairman of the occasion and Chairperson Blue Economy Nigeria Ltd, Lami Tumaka, who made the appeal, equally frowned at the marginalisation and disparity against women in political appointments.
The former NIMASA Director, said that the trust of the induction is for the inclusivity of women in appointive position.
Tagged; “Influencing Policies and Upscaling Capacity in Digital Economy, she explained that the women’s leadership summit is to mobilise Nigerian women.
Asked how the current administration has carried women along, she argued that they have tried but should do more, adding: “I don’t want to talk about this administration so that it won’t look as if I am criticising. I think we are achieving something. We are struggling, fighting to prove that we can do it. We want to sit on that big table like our men counterparts because we have something to offer.
“This administration is not doing badly, but the government can do better. They have done well especially in the involvement of youths. There are so many young people in this women including women. But there are many other women that have something to offer who should be involved. Nigerian women are demanding for more political slots,” she pleaded.
On the reasons behind the event, Mrs Tumaka, said: “The biggest takeaway will be inclusivity and giving equal opportunity not just to the women but also to the physically challenged.
“It is all about inclusivity, it’s gender parity and it’s meant to give competent women more opportunities. Giving them opportunities is not about doing so because they are women but because they are competent, capable and able enough to stand on their own.
“It is also about mentorship for the younger ones, coaching them and government enacting and following up on policies that are gender friendly to encourage women participation in all spheres be it politics.
“We keep talking about reserving certain percentage of political appointments to the women, but it must be based on competent and capacity to bring something to the table.
We want to encourage the participation of women in all spheres of Nigeria economy,” she said.
Similarly, a retired Deputy Director in NIMASA, Mary Hammad, urged Nigerians not to use the behaviour of other women that performed below expectations in their previous appointments to judge the women.
“We should not just pick on the women. We should not use the women undergoing investigation in the Humanitarian Affairs ministry and other places as a yardstick to judge women.
“Men have equally been having issues but it has not attracted attention like the one involving women. It is wrong to deny the women their right and what belongs to them because of the coincidence,” she appealed.
