Yekini Nabena, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has ignited a debate within the party and beyond after urging President Bola Tinubu to consider relocating key oil and maritime agencies to the Niger Delta region.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Nabena argued that moving the headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to the oil-rich region would bring about several benefits.
The APC chieftain also appealed that the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment be moved to either Kano or Anambra States where people trade in high proportion to justify the planned relocation of some departments of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria out of the Federal Capital Territory.
