Arewa Youths Initiative For Energy Reforms (AYIFER) urged Kyari to do everything in his power to ensure that the Kaduna Refinery is delivered on schedule and in good condition . The group asserts that the completion of construction and the start of oil production represent the hopes of all Northerners .Mallam Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), has been urged by a group of young people from the north known as Arewa Youths Initiative For Energy Reforms (AYIFER) to do everything in his power to ensure that the Kaduna Refinery is delivered on schedule and in good condition.
This was included in a statement that was provided to reporters on Friday and signed by Mr. Gideon Yakubu, the general secretary, and Alhaji Bashir Al’Amin, the national coordinator. The group asserts that the completion of construction and the start of oil production at the Kaduna Refinery represent the hopes of all Northerners.
AYIFER advised Kyari to avoid the temptation to offer the type in Port Harcourt, which it claimed has been criticised by host communities and stakeholders, characterising it as a blending plant, and instead deliver a conventional and fully functional petrochemical refinery, comparable to the Dangote Refinery in Lagos. Following the lack of or near collapse of other legacy industries and factories, the group was also described in the statement as expressing optimism that Kyari will offer a standard refinery to the north, given that it is the only refinery legacy domiciled in the region.
Although we haven’t visited the Port Harcourt Refinery since it reopened, the comments made about it, particularly by the host communities and other Nigerians, are really discouraging. A disgrace to the entire country, some of these remarks are unworthy of Mallam Mele Kyari and even the NNPCL.
As a seasoned geologist and explorationist, we have a great deal of faith in Mallam Mele Kyari, and we know that he will eventually come out to address all of the concerns brought up regarding the Port Harcourt Refinery. By then, we will be able to determine whether or not all of their statements are true.However, we are urging him to move quickly on the Kaduna Refinery in the interim so that we can catch up to other parts of the nation. We also implore the NNPCL, led by our capable brother, to restore the ancient refinery in a professional manner and provide a standard, operational petrochemical refinery rather than the kind of refinery they refer to as a blending plant in Port Harcourt.
We are aware of how busy he is and how much is going on in his immediate vicinity. We have made multiple unsuccessful attempts to inform him of our expectations and pay him a courtesy visit. We are aware of his hectic schedule and the possibility that some spies could get hold of him and try to deceive him. Any temptation that would lead him to do something that could damage his reputation should be resisted.Protecting him is our responsibility because if he fails, we have failed. He is a young man who has been favoured by God. We must pray for him.
The statement said, “We are firmly behind him in prayer and we shall come out soon to celebrate him, when our expectations are met, insha Allah.” Many of our youth lost their jobs due to the demise of the groundnut pyramid in Kano, textiles in Kano and Kaduna, PAN in Kaduna, etc., and the Kaduna refinery going moribund. All of our hopes in the north are tied to this legacy refinery, trusting Almighty Allah would use our brother to deliver it well and on time, too.
