Joint Northern Action Groups have kicked against the call by some groups to sack and probe Group Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari.
It also frowned at the call to suspend Executive Vice President (Upstream), Adokye Tombomieye, Managing Director of Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), Ali Zahra, and Managing Director of National Petroleum Investment Management Services, Bala Wunti.
Spokesman, Abdulhameed Enaji, addressing reporters yesterday in Abuja, said crude oil production has gone up under leadership of Mele Kyari.

Another achievement recorded by NNPCL, he said, is absence of black soot over Port Harcourt.
“This is a result of NNPCL’s commitment to environmental safety resulting in cleaner air for people of Port Harcourt.
“Foreign ships coming to steal crude oil from Nigeria have reduced following measures put in place by NNPCL under Mele Kyari. This has resulted in a drop in illegal crude oil sales and has helped the government in generating more revenue.”
