The Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mallam Mele Kyari, said on delivering his keynote address on ‘Redefining Nigeria’s Energy Landscape for a Sustainable Energy Future’ at NOGEnergyWeek, that affordability, accessibility, and sustainability are the drivers of Nigeria’s energy future.
Kyari noted that NNPC Limited operates in a dynamic market landscape, is gearing up for an IPO, and, as a CAMA company, will declare its shares to the public.
Key initiatives on the horizon include expanding gas infrastructure to deliver gas across West Africa and potentially, Europe, expansion of liquefaction capacity of NLNG and enabling availability of LPG as a cooking fuel and CNG as alternative fuel for automobiles.
Reaffirming Nigeria’s status as a gas nation with associated oil, Kyari reiterated the need to bridge the skilled manpower gap, ensure asset security, and invest in infrastructure to transform challenges into opportunities. For the GCEO, Strategic decisions like subsidy removal have already paved the way for positive change in the sector, while freeing up capital for powering the sustainable supply of energy.
