The National Association of Nigerian Students has threatened to embark on mass action if the Federal Government fails to take immediate steps to address the current\u00a0fuel scarcity<\/a>\u00a0in the country.<\/p>\n

The students\u2019 body also asked the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mr Mele Kyari, to resign if he could not take decisive actions to resolve the fuel crisis.<\/p>\n

The association\u2019s Senate President, Babatunde Akinteye, in a statement on Monday, lamented that the fuel scarcity has left many citizens, including students, frustrated and helpless.<\/p>\n

NANS senate president lamented that students are now facing unprecedented challenges as a result of the increase in petrol pump prices and the scarcity of the product.<\/p>\n

While demanding immediate action from the NNPCL to resolve the fuel crisis and restore stability, Babatunde said the students would hit the streets in protest if the situation persisted.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThe consequences of this fuel crisis are dire, with electricity supply remaining unreliable, prices soaring, and essential services paralysed. Nigerian students, along with the rest of the population, are bearing the brunt of this crisis daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand immediate actions from the NNPCL to resolve the fuel crisis and restore stability to our nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes transparency and accountability in providing information about the state of fuel supply and distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NANS leader stated that the NNPCL must improve infrastructure and logistics to ensure the efficient distribution of fuel across the country, saying bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the supply chain must be addressed promptly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, the NNPCL should engage with stakeholders, including student representatives, to understand the impact of the fuel crisis and collaborate on solutions.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cIf Mele Kyari fails to take decisive action to resolve the fuel crisis, we call for his resignation or removal from office.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerian students cannot afford to suffer any longer under ineffective leadership. If the NNPCL fails to act swiftly and decisively to address the fuel crisis, Nigerian students are prepared to take mass action,\u201d Akinteye declared.<\/p>\n

He added that it was time for the NNPCL to fulfil its mandate and prioritise the well-being of the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n
