Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Group, has expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for assembling a capable leadership team at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
The new team, led by Bashir Bayo Ojulari as Group Chief Executive Officer and Ahmadu Musa Kida as Non-Executive Chairman, brings a wealth of technical expertise and managerial experience.
Dangote believes that this team will drive reform and innovation across the energy sector, addressing systemic challenges and aligning with the President’s vision of a $1 trillion economy.
He expressed confidence that the new leadership will propel the country’s energy industry to new heights and reaffirmed his group’s commitment to supporting the collective vision of a prosperous, energy-secure Nigeria.
Regarding his previous statement about fighting for the survival of his $20bn refinery, Dangote clarified that it was not related to the new NNPC leadership, which has been supportive of his company’s needs.
Instead, he was referring to some major oil marketers and traders who were bent on frustrating the efforts of President Tinubu in revamping the nation’s economy.
Dangote noted that the recent activities and structural reforms introduced by NNPC Limited demonstrate a renewed focus on transparency, efficiency, and accountability.
He expressed optimism that the new leadership will drive the organization towards operational excellence and long-term sustainability.
