Tinubu celebrates NNPCL boss, Kyari, at 60 

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, on his 60th birthday today.

Tinubu, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, yesterday, commended Kyari’s diligence in transforming the NNPCL into a profitable organisation.

The President recalled that despite cynicism in some quarters, the NNPCL under Kyari’s leadership recorded notable achievements, including the resuscitation of two refineries, an increase in domestic natural gas consumption and a boost in oil production to 1.8 million barrels per day.

He applauded Kyari’s dedication to duty and the professionalism he maintained throughout his distinguished career at the NNPC, Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and as the first GCEO of NNPCL.

“Kyari is a shining example and embodiment of the ideals of the Renewed Hope Agenda. I commend his commitment to creating new opportunities and ensuring the growth and sustainability of Nigeria’s energy sector,” Tinubu said.

He prayed to God to continue to grant Kyari sound health, wisdom and strength to serve the nation while mentoring the next generation of energy sector leaders.
