The Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for evolving new leadership and Management for the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited [NNPCL]
In a statement issued by the National Coordinator of the Group, Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim and the National Secretary Dr. Nasir Balogun, the Group described the appointment of an outstanding Energy Expert, Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer as well-deserved and appropriate.
The Group charged the new leadership to hit the ground running by evolving new strategies and policies that would make the citizens of Nigeria enjoy the benefit of being an oil-producing Country by refurbishing promptly the rest moribund NNPCL Refineries and put them into operations promptly so as to get oil and fuel prices to reduce drastically in-order tobreduce the economic hardship facing the people.
It also called for smashing all the cartels that have turned the nation’s oil production into misery instead of blessing; adding for Nation whose 80% economy is dependable on oil, allowing corruption to fester would surely create serious hardship for the poor citizens and the masses.
Meanwhile, the Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria has called on State Governments in Nigeria to read the Riot Act to all officially recognised Vigilante Groups operating in their environment to shun overzealousness, drunkenness, brigandage and drug-addiction in the course of their operations.
Reacting to the brutal killing incident of last week at Uromi Edo State, the Group condemned the devilish act and described it as barbaric and sinful; which could have arisen out of drug-addiction and influence of alcohol as no normal human-beings could have wrecked such brutality on fellow-citizens, the Group maintained.
The Group called for the immediate parade of the arrested criminals that committed the act and called for their immediate prosecution without further delay; pointing out that any delay in doing this would give impression of attempt to cover-up the terrible crime which could lead reprisal sooner or later.
It therefore commended Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State for his statemanlike approach to the issue and called on the people of Edo State to celebrate the new leadership in the State for the giant-strides of the Governor within a short time of his assumption of office; pointing out that Edo State Governor has shown tremendous interest in serving the people credittably.
