Bayo Bashir Ojulari, the recently appointed head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), is set to embark on his first overseas assignment since taking over the leadership of the state-run oil firm. He will be attending the ninth edition of the OPEC International Seminar in Vienna.

The high-profile event will offer Ojulari an opportunity to represent Nigeria among global oil and energy leaders and outline the country’s stance on key industry issues. His presence at the summit is seen as a strategic move as NNPC undergoes a leadership transition and continues efforts to strengthen its international partnerships.

Ojulari’s participation is also timely, as Nigeria looks to maintain its influence within OPEC while navigating ongoing changes in the global energy sector. With rising international interest in African oil and gas markets, his role at the seminar could help shape future collaborations and policy directions.

The OPEC seminar brings together major players from the global energy sector to discuss trends, challenges, and cooperation strategies across member and non-member countries.
