President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Bayo Ojulari, Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, on his 60th birthday, praising his leadership in Nigeria’s energy sector.
In a statement on Monday, presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga described Ojulari as a visionary professional whose decades-long career has shaped key developments in oil and gas.
Before his appointment as GCEO in April, Ojulari held senior roles at Renaissance Africa Energy and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company, where he served as managing director from 2015 to 2021.
Tinubu expressed confidence that Ojulari would continue to deploy his dynamism and experience to further reposition NNPCL as a transparent, world-class national energy company to ensure the nation enjoyed energy security.
The President noted the recent increase in oil production from 1.5 million to 1.7 million barrels per day within two months and welcomed the renewed drive toward achieving the target of 1.9 million barrels by year-end.
“You have your work clearly defined before you. As head of NNPC Limited, your mission is to win investor confidence and ensure that NNPC becomes a key driver of Nigeria’s economic growth.
“On your birthday, my message to you is simple: continue to serve God and country with dedication and integrity, knowing that your efforts will bring renewed hope to Nigerians and strengthen our energy industry.
“I pray God to grant you strength, wisdom, and success as you lead the NNPC Limited to greater heights,” Tinubu said.
