NEITI Express Confidence In Ojulari To Deliver Reforms

The Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, Dr Ogbonnaya Orji, has expressed confidence in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited under the leadership of Bayo Ojulari to deliver on the ongoing reforms and set new benchmarks for corporate governance in Africa’s extractive industry.

Orji gave the assurance in Abuja on Thursday during a courtesy visit to the NNPC management at the NNPC Towers. According to a statement by the NNPC on Friday, Orji “commended the vision of the new NNPC leadership, noting that its assumption of office came at a defining moment for the extractive sector, when reforms, renewed investor confidence and expanded indigenous participation were reshaping Nigeria’s oil and gas landscape.”

He urged NNPC to stand as a model of transparency, accountability, efficiency, and civic engagement, stressing that the values remained essential to restoring public trust and safeguarding the company as Nigeria’s greatest national asset.

Responding, the NNPC GCEO, Bashir Ojulari, said the company would sustain its collaboration with NEITI to strengthen corporate governance in line with global transparency and accountability standards.
