The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Skymark Energy and Power, Muhammad Hassan, has said that with President Bola Tinubu’s experience and the expertise of the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, the country economy would soon bounce back.
Hassan in a statement issued Saturday added that Tinubu and Kyari’s combination have the potentialities to transform the nation’s economy from its current obscure status to limelight and enviable economic prosperity.
Hassan, who is also the National President of One Nigeria Group (ONG), stressed that the president’s confidence in leveraging Kyari’s experience and expertise in the oil sector would inspire capacity to fix the nation’s economy in a record time and also redeem it from the brink of collapse.
He said: “Tinubu and Kyari’s similar ideas and innovation that border on economic growth and development as well as their penchant for track record performance, the nation’s economy would soon bounce back and end the current hardship in the country.
“President Tinubu is a great thinker, renowned technocrat, progressive, development guru and team player. These rare qualities flow in his veins.
“He portrays them in all his administrative engagements. When he was governor in Lagos from 1999 till 2007, he set a record of development in staggering proportions. Before and as at 1999 in particular before he became the governor, many parts of Lagos were slums. Several other parts of the state used to be havens of area boys, criminals, robbers, thugs and other nefarious activities that made life horrible, unsafe and uncomfortable for the people of the state. But when he became governor,j he took them off the streets and hideouts and gave them jobs through youth employment scheme.”
Hassan added that the Kyari’s performance has transcended the oil sector where he waxes strong in reformation of the nation’s oil giant, following his contributions to Tinubu’s efforts to attract Saudi Aramco to the country for investment.
He noted that it was crystal-clear that Kyari has taken his performance beyond the oil sector by stimulating economic programmes for economic growth, following his proactive roles in attracting foreign investment to the country.
Hassan emphasised that Kyari recently travelled with Tinubu to oversee the Indorama deal in India and to also attract foreign investors to invest in gas.
He also expressed delight that Tinubu and Kyari’s move to attract Saudi Aramco to invest in Nigeria portrayed them as a huge combination to revamp the country’s economy.
He noted that Saudi Aramco’s investment promised to stimulate forex and strengthen the naira against dollar when the deal is actualised soon.
Hassan said “Kyari’s performance had gone beyond the NNPCL to a level of using his expertise and knowledge to rescue Nigeria from her perennial economic doldrums.
“That is why Nigerians should commend office holders that are performing very well instead of criticizing them. They should also commend President Tinubu for retaining Kyari who has been a magic wand in repositioning the nation’s oil sector and stimulating foreign investment agenda to rejuvenate the nation’s economy.”
