This move signals a commitment to operational excellence and financial sustainability, crucial for success in the international oil and gas market.

President Tinubu and the nation’s security agencies received commendation for their decisive leadership in implementing these reforms. These steps are vital in strengthening NNPC Ltd and revitalizing Nigeria’s energy sector, leading to improved financial performance and broader economic prosperity.
The NAN emphasized addressing challenges in other key sectors, particularly agriculture. They urge the Federal Government to prioritize agricultural reforms, ensuring self-sufficiency in food production and overall economic prosperity.
“The NNPC Ltd’s success story serves as a model for other public institutions,” Sulaiman added. “We envision a future where Nigeria meets its energy needs and becomes a leader in food production, contributing to citizens’ and the global community’s well-being.”
The NAN reaffirmed its commitment to promoting the North’s and Nigeria’s development, praising NNPC Ltd’s transformation as a shining example of excellence in public service.
“This achievement demonstrates that with the right leadership and commitment, Nigeria’s public institutions can drive growth, prosperity, and national development,” Sulaiman concluded.
