The Arewa Youth Ambassadors (AYA), representing youth groups in the 19 Northern states, have called for the supply of crude oil to Dangote Petroleum Refinery (DPR) to be conducted in naira instead of dollars.
Muktar Abdurrahman Auwal, the group’s secretary, emphasized that selling crude oil to DPR in foreign currency would be counterproductive for the Nigerian masses, considering the challenges posed by foreign exchange and its impact on the naira’s value.
The AYA urged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to address this issue to alleviate the economic challenges faced by Nigerians.
