N20bn Payment Probe: Northern Youths Order NNPC Boss, Kyari To Step Aside
The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has told the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), Kolo Mele Kyari, to step aside to allow for an unfettered probe by the House of Representatives into the payment of N20 billion to a ghost consultant.
The group alleged that the NNPC manipulated the fuel subsidy regime, which according to it, was seen during the acute fuel scarcity that lasted over six months when Nigerians were buying fuel for N400 per litre, while the Federal Government spending on subsidy skyrocketed.
The group, in a press statement on Monday signed by its president, Comrade Isah Abubakar, urged the House of Representatives to probe the NNPC beyond the N20 billion contract scam, even as it threatened a massive civil protest if the GCEO refused to step aside.
