The new Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Mallam Mele Kolo Kyari yesterday assumed office setting targets that included fixing all the country’s refineries before 2023 when President Muhammadu Buhari would leave office. Speaking after a ceremonial handover from his predecessor Dr. Maikanti Baru in Abuja, Kyari said the corporation under his watch would focus on delivering the expectations of every Nigerian in terms of availability of petroleum products.

At the event which also had in attendance the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mr. Ibrahim Magu, Kyari also promised to run the national oil firm in the most transparent and corrupt-free manner that will benefit every Nigerian.
