TRIBUNE NG
The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has welcomed the reappointment of Mallam Mele Kolo Kyari as the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) by President Bola Tinubu. This decision, AYCF said, is a landmark move that signals continuity and stability in the nation’s oil sector.
In a statement by its President General, Yerima Shettima made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Wednesday, AYCF noted that as part of a larger reshuffle, President Tinubu has unveiled a new board and management team for the NNPCL, effective December 1, 2023.
“The retention of Mallam Mele Kolo Kyari has defied expectations and put to shame detractors who had been anticipating his replacement after serving for approximately four years under the Buhari Administration,” Yerima Shettima said.
He expressed satisfaction with President Tinubu’s decision and highlighted the current administration has confidence in Mele Kyari.
Shettima emphasized that Kyari’s reappointment demonstrates the administration’s belief in his ability to navigate the challenges of the global oil economy and lead the NNPCL to even greater heights.
He said the AYCF, a prominent youth organization that represents the interests of the Arewa region, recognizes the valuable contributions made by Mallam Mele Kolo Kyari during his previous term as the CEO of NNPCL.
