The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has urged for the removal of Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) and the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.
NANS is concerned about the challenges faced by Nigerians as a result of inconsistent electricity supply, high tariffs, and the ongoing fuel crisis.
NANS has made the decision to organize a nationwide protest on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, and has asked for the support of fellow Nigerians.
In a joint statement endorsed by Senator Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, the Senate President, NANS Headquarters, and the heads of its 5 regions, it was expressed with concern that both Kyari and Adelabu’s leadership roles have played a part in the mismanagement and mishandling of crucial energy resources. This situation has been observed to have exacerbated the nation’s current state of turmoil, as noted by many Nigerians.
“To amplify our message and ensure widespread participation, we have strategically organized the protest to take place across various zones of the country. Each zone will host its demonstration at designated locations to maximize visibility and impact.
“Zone A: Abuja Junction along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway. Zone C: Airport Road in Abuja. Zone D along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Zone F along Onitsha-Asaba Head Bridge and Zone E along the Wuntin Dada- Bauchi-Jos Road.”
“We firmly believe that the removal of Mele Kyari and Honourable Adelabu is essential to address the root causes of the fuel scarcity and electricity crisis.
“We demand accountability, transparency, and decisive action from the government to alleviate the plight of the Nigerian students.
