The Chief Executive Officer, CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Mele Kyari, has declared that NNPCL is not a thief and has nothing to do with the importation of sub-standard products into the country.
Kyari made the statement on Wednesday while appearing before a Senate ad-hoc committee led by Senator Opeyemi Bamidele investigating alleged economic sabotage in the Nigeria Petroleum industry.
Kyari said he, as the CEO of the NNPCL, had faced undue media attacks from persons doing everything to create the impression that NNPCL is sabotaging the nation’s economy.
In his words, “We are not criminals and we are not thieves. We will protect our dignity so we can serve this country.”
He further said that the oil and gas industry is bleeding and that there are things he knew but could not talk about in public until “the time comes”.
He further asked that the committee sessions be televised live going forward for all Nigerians to monitor.
