NNPC to accelerate investments following record growth

Reflecting a year of strong operational delivery, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited has reported a profit after tax of US$3.6bn

This growth will be leveraged by the company to outline a US$60bn investment pipeline with oil and gas developments a priority. 

As the results recorded a 64% year-on-year growth, Bashir Bayo Ojulari, Group chief executive officer, said, "The earnings highlight the positive momentum of our ongoing transformation and the unwavering commitment of our workforce.”

“They offer a solid foundation for the ambitious growth ahead, in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mandate, and reaffirm our commitment to delivering value to Nigerians,” he added. 

Alongside investments across upstream operations and gas infrastructure, the company has plans for clean energy development as well. Its key strategies include boosting crude oil production to 2 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2027 and 3 million bpd by 2030. In the natural gas front, the company aims increased generation at 10 bn cu/ft per day by 2027 and 12 bn cu/ft per day by 2030, while turning around major gas infrastructure projects such as Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK), Escravos-Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS) and Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben (OB3) pipelines to strengthen domestic supply and regional integration. The company is mobilising US$60bn in investments across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors by 2030.

“Our transformation is anchored on transparency, innovation, and disciplined growth,” Ojulari added. “We are positioning NNPC Limited as a globally competitive energy company capable of delivering sustainable returns while powering the future of Nigeria and Africa.”
