The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) says it is repositioning itself beyond oil and gas production to become a platform that connects investment, technology, policy and talent to support sustainable energy development across Nigeria and Africa.
Group Chief Executive Officer Bayo Ojulari stated this while reflecting on the company’s participation at the 2026 Nigeria Oil and Gas (NOG) Energy Week, according to a statement issued on Monday.
Ojulari said NNPC Ltd.’s transformation is driven by a broader vision of creating long-term value through strategic partnerships and investment across the energy value chain.
“We no longer view NNPC Limited as merely an energy producer, but as an ecosystem builder, connecting capital, technology, policy, talent and markets to create lasting value for Nigeria and Africa,” he said.
He added that the company’s new direction would strengthen collaboration within the energy industry and contribute to Africa’s energy growth.
The 2026 NOG Energy Week brought together policymakers, regulators, investors, energy companies and technology providers to discuss investment opportunities, energy security, gas development and the future of Africa’s energy sector.
Since its transition into a commercially oriented company under the Petroleum Industry Act, NNPC Ltd. has continued to pursue operational efficiency and strategic partnerships as part of its long-term growth strategy.
