Mr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd, has vowed to build robust alliances with government ministries and industry stakeholders to deliver on the strategic mandate entrusted to him by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. During a courtesy visit to the Honourable Minister of Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, Mr. Ojulari underscored the importance of collaboration in driving Nigeria’s oil and gas sector forward.
“We are here with a mindset of partnership—with the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Ministry of Finance, and all other critical stakeholders,” he declared. “Our goal is to bridge gaps, foster alignment, and move forward with a united front. Antagonism benefits no one; collaboration is how we win.” He added that breaking through bureaucratic red tape and accelerating project execution would hinge on seamless coordination among regulators, financiers, host communities, and investors.
Senator Lokpobiri welcomed the commitment, praising the new NNPC Ltd leadership as “arguably the strongest team the company has ever assembled.” He expressed confidence that their combined expertise would translate into tangible results—particularly in boosting crude oil production and maximising value for the Nigerian people. The minister assured Mr. Ojulari of his full support and pledged to create an enabling environment that empowers NNPC Ltd to achieve its national development objectives.
