The APC Youth Solidarity Network has raised concerns over the $6.8 billion debt owed to petrol suppliers.

President of the group, Olalekan Isaac who addressed newsmen on Monday in Abuja, urged the GCEO of the NNPC Limited to take full responsibility for the recent developments.

According to Isaac, the group remains committed to upholding the values of transparency, accountability, and exemplary governance, and vowed to continue advocating for a Nigeria where accountability reigns supreme.

He said: “Regrettably, Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil exporter, finds itself in the incongruous position of importing virtually all its fuel requirements.

“This anomaly is obviously a direct consequence of years of systemic neglect and mismanagement of our state-owned oil refineries.

Furthermore, the selfish interests and lack of visionary leadership within our oil and gas sector have hindered the optimal utilization of the newly commissioned 650,000 barrel-per-day Dangote refinery.

“Instead of producing marketable petrol for domestic consumption, this facility is compelled to export other fuels abroad, exacerbating our nation’s energy woes.

“This critical moment serves as a clarion call for transformative change, heralding a new era of transparency, accountability, and visionary leadership,” he added. (New Telegraph)
