Bashir Bayo Ojulari has officially resumed as the Group CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), succeeding Mele Kyari.

The transition, marked by a brief ceremony at the company’s headquarters, ushers in a new leadership era.

Ojulari praised Kyari’s contributions and vowed to build on his predecessor’s successes.

Alongside Ojulari, NNPCL unveiled a fresh senior management team, including Rowland Ewubare as Group COO, Adedapo Segun as CFO, and Olalekan Ogunleye as EVP of Gas, Power & New Energy, among others.

These changes, announced by President Bola Tinubu, are part of NNPCL’s restructuring under the Petroleum Industry Act, aimed at strengthening the company’s operations.
