Niger Delta Youth Coalition For Peace and Progress, an advocacy group in conjunction with other notable Youth Leaders across the Niger Delta have felicitated with the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Engr. Mele Kyari on the auspicious occasion of his birthday..
A statement in Yenagoa signed by the National President, Pastor Jude Olayinka and Chairman BOT, Amb. Kennedy West expressed joy to be associated with Kyari on the celebration of his birthday, noting that as GMD of NNPC he has brought major transformational changes to the board, most especially, TAPE (Transparency, Accountability, Performance and Excellence) which has meteorically shot the NNPC to global recognition.
They described Mele Kyari as an industry technocrat par excellence, a very seasoned public administrator, a team player that has worked seamlessly with superiors; like the President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, and the Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, our mentor and brother as well as numerous subordinates.
They further said as a Port Harcourt boy who is very detribalized, principled, professional to the core and a visionary leader, posterity will record Mele Kyari’s reign in the NNPC as golden considering the passage and signing of the PIA, the Petroleum Industry Act, inspite of the misgivings therein.
The Niger Delta Youth leaders noted that arrangements have been concluded to confer on Mele Kyari, an Award of Excellence on Probity and Public Administration come February 2022 on the occasion of the Niger Delta Youth Entrepreneur Summit on Oil and Gas.
The duo while congratulating Mele Kyari whom they further described as a quintessential leader, wished him divine wisdom and strength to continue to pilot the NNPC to global limelight.
