Niger Delta Stakeholders Slam NNPC CEO's Victim Narrative Amid Refinery Failures

Niger Delta stakeholders strongly criticized Bayo Ojulari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, for portraying himself as a victim amidst the failure to revamp the nation's refineries. Ojulari's claim of being targeted by a cartel was met with backlash from civil society groups and workers' alliances, who accused him of deflecting criticism.

This comes amid calls for an investigation into alleged corruption scandals within NNPC, with Ojulari recently being detained by the EFCC. Stakeholders argue that Ojulari's narrative of victimhood is a distraction from addressing the real issues plaguing the oil sector in Nigeria.
