The statement jointly signed by the chairman, Bello Jibril, and the secretary of the forum, Lucy Mamza, advised such ambitious lobbyists to stop eyeing a position that is not vacant, adding that they should focus on the tasks assigned to them by the corporation.
According to the group, it was not in doubt that Kyari’s efforts through transparency, accountability and performance have yielded the desired results and propelled the corporation’s productivity as never before in the history of the NNPC as an oil conglomerate.
It said:
“Despite all these remarkable successes recorded by Mele Kyari as the helmsman at the Corporation, some top management staff within and outside of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) are said to be lobbying for the position of the Group Managing Director, instead of focusing on the tasks assigned to them by the corporation.
“At this time of repositioning the NNPC, all hands must be on deck in order to achieve the set objectives of transparency, accountability and performance excellence for the benefit of the country and her citizens."
The group noted that it is not in doubt that Mele Kyari’s efforts through transparency, accountability and performance excellence has uplifted the corporation.
It added the achievement has yielded the desired results and propelled the corporation’s productivity as never before in the history of the NNPC as an oil conglomerate.
NESF further stated:
“His teamwork template has beefed up the entire workforce that craved and oiled the performance indices beyond expectations to the bewilderment of even the skeptics.
“In a nutshell, his avowed mindset to reposition the national oil company by transforming it into one of the best in Africa is glaringly manifesting in the seamless petroleum products availability to all Nigerians at every nook and cranny in the country."
