WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The new chief executive of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mr Bayo Ojulari, has promised to consolidate on the legacy and achievements of his predecessor, Mr Mele Kyari. He made this pledge while taking over from Mr Kyari on Friday at the organisation’s headquarters in Abuja, the country’s seat of power. President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday dissolved the board of the NNPC and appointed new members to pilot affairs of the oil company. In a statement today by the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of the NNPC, Mr Olufemi Soneye, it was disclosed that the new CEO praised Mr Kyari for his contributions to the growth of NNPC Ltd and his sterling service to the nation, noting that the objective of his management is to consolidate on the successes of his predecessor and take the company to the next level. He said though the targets set for his management were quite enormous, he would be relying on the co-operation of the Management and staff of the company, as well as the counsel of his predecessor to achieve set targets. “I will be counting on your support. I will need it. I will be coming around to seek your counsel,” Mr Ojulari told Mr Kyari. Earlier in his remarks, the erstwhile NNPC chief congratulated his successor and thanked the management and staff of the company for their support while in office, vowing to do everything within his power to support the new team to succeed, stressing he is only a call away.
