Bedford Berefa, Spokesperson, Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step down as Minister of Petroleum Resources and appoint a substantive minister forthwith.
Berefa said that it was in doing so that the sector would begin to be vibrant and serve the Nigerian people better.
The activist made the call while addressing some select editors on the need for a paradigm shift in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
Berefa said that the occupation of the position of a minister by the President was not in the interest of the country.
He emphasized that the entire oil and gas sector needed to be completely overhauled because it is not working.
Proposing a shift in the nation’s oil and gas sector governance, he said the country must move from “contract oil” to “development oil.”
He explained that adopting development oil would help Nigeria as the revenue from oil would be reinvested into infrastructure development; education, healthcare, research and development in energy and related fields.
