Tinubu celebrates NNPCL boss Ojulari at 60

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Bashir Bayo Ojulari, on his 60th birthday.
He commended his contributions to Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President described Mr. Ojulari as “an accomplished energy professional whose distinguished career has been defined by transformative and visionary leadership in our country’s oil and gas industry.”
The President praised the NNPC Limited boss for his service in various key positions in the energy sector, including his role as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Renaissance Africa Energy Company and Managing Director of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) from 2015 to 2021.
Since assuming office as GCEO of NNPC Limited in April, Ojulari has overseen significant gains in oil production, which President Tinubu acknowledged with satisfaction.
“The recent increase in oil production from 1.5 million to 1.7 million barrels per day within two months,” he noted, “is a welcome development,” while expressing optimism about reaching the 1.9 million barrels per day target by the end of the year.
The President expressed full confidence in Ojulari’s ability to reposition the national oil company as a credible, world-class institution capable of delivering energy security and fostering economic growth.
“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,” the President stated.
“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.”
President Tinubu concluded his tribute with a prayer: “I pray God to grant you strength, wisdom, and success as you lead the NNPC Limited to greater heights.”
