The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has called on all stakeholders in the downstream petroleum sector to collaborate in order to drive sustainable growth and unlock value across the industry.
Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd., Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, made the call on Tuesday during the 2025 Inaugural Annual Downstream Petroleum Week, organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream). He was represented at the event by the company’s Executive Vice President, Downstream, Mr. Mumuni Dagazau.
Describing Nigeria’s downstream landscape as one shaped by transition, opportunity, and strategic reform, Ojulari stressed that partnerships and collaboration are essential for achieving a sustainable energy future.
He highlighted the projected growth in Africa’s energy demand, noting that Nigeria is at the forefront of meeting this demand. According to him, coordinated efforts and collective responsibility are crucial to harness emerging opportunities and ensure inclusive, long-term growth within the sector.
On the domestic front, Ojulari reaffirmed NNPC Ltd.’s commitment to maintaining consistent fuel availability, competitive pricing, and quality assurance across its retail networks nationwide.
He said, “The opportunity to create a sustainable economy for today and the future is hinged on supply partnerships, infrastructure co-investments, security collaborations, host community cooperation, and operational alliances. Everyone needs to get involved in activities that will ultimately create a sustainably promising future for Nigeria.”
Ojulari also commended the National Assembly and the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream) for convening the strategic forum, assuring that NNPC Ltd., as both a commercial and national energy entity, remains committed to fostering stakeholder engagement and promoting collaborative models for sector-wide growth.
The event, held at the National Assembly Complex, brought together key players in the downstream petroleum sector and legislators. It was themed “Celebrating Our Successes, Confronting Our Challenges, and Finding Solutions for the Petroleum Downstream Sector.”
