ABUJA, Nigeria – The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has reaffirmed its commitment to overhauling downstream infrastructure and expanding collaboration across the energy sector.
The Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Bayo Ojulari, made the announcement on Monday at the opening of the 2025 OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week in Lagos.
Speaking on the theme, “Energy Sustainability: Beyond Boundaries & Competition,” Ojulari said long-term sector growth now depends on partnership, innovation, and sustainability.
“We are investing in new infrastructure while restoring existing assets,” he said. “Our facilities will be accessible to partners to support product storage, distribution, and transportation.”
Ojulari highlighted improved regulatory clarity under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), which has attracted new investors and opened opportunities in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and small-scale LNG systems.
He urged industry players to adopt emerging technologies that reduce emissions, enhance energy security, and generate economic value. “This is the moment to build resilient and forward-thinking energy systems,” he stated.
The OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week is regarded as the continent’s leading platform for discussing midstream and downstream innovation, drawing policymakers, regulators, operators, and service providers into long-term sector planning.
