From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
Ndigbo Progressive Youth Coalition (NPYC) has commended the group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mr Mele Kolo Kyari, for the increase in crude oil production output.
The group also commended the management of the Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) for its effort in securing pipeline infrastructure of Nigeria which, it noted, accounted for the increase in crude oil production in recent times.
In a statement signed by its President and Secretary, Ikechukwu Ude and, Chris Donatus, respectively, the group said: “We are elated by the news of 1.486 million Barrels Per Day (MBPD) in November as announced by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) monthly report for the last quarter of 2024.”
“Ndigbo Progressive Youth Coalition anticipates a better economy for Nigeria which translates to easier living conditions for Nigerians. All these are possible because the NNPCL GCEO, Mr Mele Kyari took the bull by the horns.
“Also important in galvanizing the upward trend of crude oil production in Nigeria, is the Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL), led by the Executive Director, Mr Osahon Hosa- Okubor, who has meticulously ensured strict monitoring and security of pipelines in the Niger Delta, thereby cutting down on oil theft and vandalism of oil facilities.”
It, therefore, called on all stakeholders to join hands in ensuring the security of oil facilities in the country.
