President Bola Tinubu has felicitated Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Bashir Bayo Ojulari, as he clocks 60 on June 3.

Before becoming GCEO of NNPC Limited in April 2025, Ojulari served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Renaissance Africa Energy Company. Between 2015 and 2021, he was the Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) managing director.

The President, in a statement issued on Monday by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, joined family, friends and associates in celebrating an accomplished energy professional whose distinguished career has been defined by transformative and visionary leadership in our country’s oil and gas industry.

President Tinubu expressed confidence that Ojulari will continue to deploy his dynamism and experience to further reposition NNPC Limited as a transparent, world-class national energy company that can ensure our nation enjoys energy security.

The President noted with satisfaction 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.

According to President Tinubu: “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”.
