Former Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mele Kyari
Dangote refinery: Reps begin probe, vow to demand NNPCL boss sacking
The House of Representatives has threatened to push for the removal of Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), if he continues to impede the operations of the Dangote Refinery.
Deputy House Spokesman, Philip Agbese, revealed this during a press briefing in Abuja.
Agbese noted that the House has already voiced its support for the removal of Farouk Ahmed, the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
The lawmaker accused both the NNPCL and NMDPRA of working against the interests of the Dangote Refinery.

He said, “We have been seeing many demarketing campaigns to discredit the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, and given the negative impact of this, which has caused panic in the country.
“It is on record that the House directed the President to sack the NMDPRA’s CEO.
“The House of Representatives will not hesitate to call for the dismissal of Mele Kyari if the attempt to destroy the refinery project, a national asset, does not stop immediately.”
This development follows a recent visit by House Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and a House delegation to the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals Company in Lagos.
