NNPC boss Engr. Bashir Ojulari says President Tinubu has not pressured him to cut corners on reforms, pledging sustainable refinery rehabilitation despite attacks and sabotage attempts.
The Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Engr. Bashir Ojulari, says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not pressured him to compromise on reforms at the national oil company.
Speaking when he hosted PENGASSAN leaders in Abuja on Thursday, Ojulari said the transformation process was tough but necessary, warning against shortcuts.
“We are under attack. We will not budge to short-term pressure, as it will not be in the best interest of Nigerians,” he said, adding that President Tinubu never pressured him “to do the wrong thing.”
Ojulari noted that his administration was focused on rehabilitating refineries sustainably using the Incorporated Joint Venture (IJV) model. He accused unnamed forces of trying to derail the reforms but vowed they would not succeed.
PENGASSAN President Festus Osifo commended Ojulari’s leadership, citing improvements in pipeline security and reduced crude theft.
Ojulari urged Nigerians to support the changes, saying they were designed to secure the country’s energy future.
