The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Company Limited (NNPC Ltd), Mr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, has reaffirmed his
commitment to forging strong and effective partnerships with key
stakeholders to successfully deliver on the strategic mandate entrusted to
him by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Mr. Ojulari made this pledge during a courtesy visit to the Honourable
Minister of Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, on
Wednesday, underscoring a shared vision of progress and performance for
Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
Speaking during the visit, the GCEO emphasized that he and his executive
leadership team are stepping into office with a spirit of collaboration and a
deep resolve to make a lasting impact. He noted that NNPC Ltd’s success
will depend on close synergy with the Ministry of Petroleum, the Ministry of
Finance, and other relevant institutions to break through bureaucratic
barriers and accelerate results.
“We are here with a mindset of partnership—partnership with the Ministry
of Petroleum Resources, with the Ministry of Finance, and with all other
critical stakeholders. Our goal is to bridge gaps, foster alignment, and move
forward with a united front. Antagonism benefits no one; collaboration is
how we win,” Ojulari stated.
In response, Senator Lokpobiri expressed strong confidence in the new
leadership of NNPC Ltd., noting that he has known many members of the
management team personally and has received outstanding reports about
their professional capabilities.
“This is arguably the strongest leadership team NNPC Ltd has ever
assembled,” the Minister said. “Now is the time to translate that reputation
into measurable results—especially in increasing crude oil production and
ensuring the sector delivers optimal value to the Nigerian people.”
The Honourable Minister assured Mr. Ojulari of his unwavering support and
strategic guidance, adding that his office would work closely with the GCEO to provide the enabling environment for NNPC Ltd to thrive and deliver on
its national mandate.
This renewed spirit of partnership signals a new chapter for the oil and gas
industry, marked by purposeful collaboration, operational excellence, and a
shared commitment to national development.
