    There was protest in Abuja Monday, over the unending suffering fuel scarcity and long queues at filling stations across the country,  with protesters calling for the removal of the GMD of NNPCL, Mr Mele Kyari

    The protesters displayed several banners, with inscription such as: ‘We are tired of fuel scarcity and stories on why refineries are not working..

    “No direction under Kyari’ and ‘We want accountability in the affairs of NNPCL

    Speaking at Unity Fountain after the rally in Abuja, one of the conveners and representative of the Coalition of Concerned Civil Society Organizations, Aminu Abbas asked “why a nation blessed with oil like Nigeria should continue to suffer acute petrol scarcity.

    “To President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and all those in positions of power, we say the time to act is now.

    “Show us that you stand with the people, not those who profit from our misery.

    “Mr Kyari must be shown the way out, and the NNPCL must be reformed to serve the interests of all Nigerians. We will not be silenced.

    Continuing he said, “The fuel scarcity we endure today is not just a mere inconvenience; it is a calculated perpetuation of suffering.

    “Under Mr Kyari’s leadership, the situation has gone from bad to worse, with no end in sight. What has he done to alleviate this crisis?

    “It is clear he seems intent on maintaining a status quo that benefits only a select few while the masses suffer.

    “Why do we, the people, have to endure endless queues, inflated prices, and the daily uncertainty of whether we can fuel our vehicles or power our homes?

    “The answer lies in the gross incompetence and mismanagement that have become the hallmarks of Mr. Kyari’s leadership.”

    It was gathered that the confession at the weekend by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited that it is experiencing financial strain as a result of substantial debt being owed to suppliers is responsible for the scarcity is is endangering further supplies provoked the demonstrations
