Atiku Condemns NNPCL for $6 Billion Debt and Fuel Scarcity Crisis
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly criticized the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) following the company’s recent admission of a substantial debt totaling $6 billion owed to petrol suppliers.
This disclosure, made public on September 1, has intensified the ongoing fuel scarcity crisis, which has now been affecting the country for six weeks.
NNPCL’s Chief Communications Officer, Mr. Olufemi Soneye, confirmed the debt, highlighting the severe financial strain it has imposed on the company’s operations.
Soneye acknowledged that the debt poses a significant challenge to the company’s ability to maintain a steady fuel supply.
Despite these difficulties, Soneye reassured the public that NNPCL remains dedicated to fulfilling its role as the supplier of last resort, as required by the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).
The company is actively working with government agencies to ensure that petroleum products remain available across the nation.
In response to the situation, Atiku Abubakar expressed his deep concern through a statement released by his media aide, Phrank Shaibu.
He criticized the NNPCL’s handling of the situation, questioning the credibility of the profits that had previously been touted by the company.
Atiku accused the current administration under President Bola Tinubu of leading NNPCL towards a state of disarray, characterizing their actions as a “ruthless dismantling of its assets” and expressing skepticism about the transparency and effectiveness of their management.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
