The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Bayo Ojulari, is confident that the nation’s oil production would hit 1.8 million barrels per day crude benchmark before the year ends.
Ojulari stated this on Sunday after visiting President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.
The NNPCL boss was in Lagos to brief the President on the activities of the national oil company since his appointment on April 2.
“With some of the turnaround maintenance that we have done in August and September, all of those are meant to come back this month.
“We are hoping that before the end of the year, we should be clocking at least 1.8 million barrels per day,” he stated.
