The statement reads  in part, : 

President Ahmed Bola Tinubu should immediately sack the Group Managing Director of NNPCL, Mele Kyari and order for his investigation, as there are clear evidence of abuse of office and gross misconduct against him.




"This is a call to President Tinubu and the 10th National Assembly to probe the alleged issuance of license to Dangote by the NNPCL for the importation of PMS.


"President Tinubu and the National Assembly should revoke the license issued by the NNPCL to Dangote and declare it null and void, as it breaches the provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, and also bring anyone found complicit in the action to book.


 "President Tinubu should probe the planned sales of the 300,000 barrels daily crude oil by the NNPCL to Dangote in naira 


" The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) should fast track the process of issuing licenses for importation of petroleum products to independent marketers in order to break the hold of monopoly by the NNPCL, to increase competition and ultimately force down the prices of petroleum products.



"Nigerians, especially members of the civil society should be aware of this conspiracy by few highly placed individuals to hijack the nation's economy, converting same to their private estate, and resist them.



" And that I also call on the media often regarded as the fourth estate of the realm to pay a closer attention to the activities of the NNPCL under the leadership of Mele Kyari, with a view to exposing.any corrupt practices ."

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
