The current leadership of NNPC Ltd appears committed to addressing every gap within its purview, and this also extends to infrastructural issues associated with the oil and gas industry such as gas shortages for power supply, pipeline protection and maintaining the uninterrupted provision of petroleum products across the country.
For clarity, the NNPC Ltd, under the chairmanship of Chief Pius Akinyelure and managerial leadership of Mele Kyari, is well-positioned to capture the economic opportunities associated with developing and selling hydrocarbons in a resource rich country like Nigeria.
These benefits are to be equitably distributed across society and create wealth for human capital development and capacity building.
It is to further achieve this sufficiency that, under Kyari’s leadership, NNPC Ltd is fully aligned with the federal government’s ambition to accelerate economic growth and diversify the economy for the benefit of all Nigerians. This is being achieved through timely, credible, clear, and consistent policies.
Since taking charge in July 2019, he has driven significant organizational renewal and greatly improved NNPC’s performance and long-term viability. The board and Kyari have been the driving force behind ambitious business growth and have instilled a new commercial mindset throughout the company’s entire value chain.
Under his leadership, the NNPC Ltd workforce has been revitalized. Today, the company continues to attract the interest of business partners, customers, suppliers, and shareholders. Since its transition to a commercial entity under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021, and in line with the Company & Allied Matters Act (CAMA) provisions, NNPC Ltd has consistently delivered value despite its unique operational challenges.
Soneye is the chief corporate communications officer of NNPC Ltd.
