NNPCL’s boss, Bashir Ojulari, has reaffirmed his commitment to partner with key stakeholders to deliver on his mandate.
On Wednesday, Mr Ojulari made the pledge when he visited the Minister of Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, in Abuja.
Mr Ojulari underscored the need for a shared vision of progress and performance for Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
He explained that his executive leadership team stepped into office with a spirit of collaboration and a deep resolve to make a lasting impact.
Mr Ojulari said the success of NNPCL would depend on close synergy with the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Ministry of Finance, and other relevant institutions to break through bureaucratic barriers and accelerate results.
“We are here with a mindset of partnership: a partnership with the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Ministry of Finance, and all other critical stakeholders.
“Our goal is to bridge the gaps, foster alignment and move forward with a united front. Antagonism benefits no one; collaboration is how we win,” Mr Ojulari.
In response, Mr Lokpobiri expressed strong confidence in the new leadership of NNPCL, adding that he knew many management team members personally and had received outstanding reports about their professional capabilities.
“This is arguably the strongest leadership team NNPC Ltd has ever
assembled. 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,” Mr Lokpobiri said.
The oil minister assured Mr Ojulari of his unwavering support and strategic guidance. He added that his office would work closely with him to provide an environment enabling NNPCL 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,” he said.
