The group alleges that a “cabal” within the NNPCL exploits the region’s resources and keeps the Port Harcourt refinery inactive despite multiple assurances.
Dakuku Francis, spokesperson for NDYN, highlighted the mounting frustration in the region, pointing to six postponed refinery launch dates, the most recent being a promise from NNPCL Chief Financial Officer Umar Ajiya to start operations in September 2024.
“The NNPCL’s lack of transparency and accountability has exacerbated regional tensions. We are demanding answers and action from the company, as these repeated delays are part of a larger plot to exploit our region’s resources,” Francis said.
