The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Solidarity Network has faulted the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) for its failure to deliver on the Port Harcourt Refinery project despite a $2 billion investment.
The group warned Mele Kyari over the potential use of the Port Harcourt Refinery for importing and blending adulterated fuel, arguing it won’t only undermine the country’s economic interests but also poses significant environmental and health risks.
President of the group, Olayemi Isaac, demanded accountability and justice for the missing funds and called for an immediate investigation into the matter.
He alleged the NNPCL has deliberately refused to fix the refineries to sustain fuel subsidies and import blended fuel.

Isaac condemned the NNPCL’s attempts to import refined products, calling it a smokescreen designed to deceive Nigerians.
He emphasised that the Port Harcourt Refinery project’s failure is a clear indication of NNPCL’s failure to act in Nigerians’ best interests.
The APC Youth Solidarity Network urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Assembly, and relevant authorities to take immediate action.
