Bayo Ojulari, Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), raised an alarm, revealing that both his life and those of senior management are facing serious threats.
Ojulari attributed the hostility to the sweeping reforms he has initiated in the oil and gas sector, in line with Bola Tinubu’s directive to overhaul Nigeria’s ailing refineries.
He expressed concern that influential figures opposed to these changes are actively working to oust him from his position.
The alarming disclosure came during a meeting with the leadership of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), led by its President, Comrade Festus Osifo, at NNPCL’s headquarters in Abuja.
Ojulari reaffirmed the company’s commitment to restoring the refineries to full operational capacity, noting that the management is exploring the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) model as a blueprint for the revitalization effort.
In response to PENGASSAN’s concerns about the stability of NNPCL and the broader oil sector, Ojulari maintained that despite the threats, he remains resolute in his mission to ensure the refineries are fully functional and the sector is repositioned for sustainable growth.
He said: “I’m not hiding to anybody. I’m not a politician. I will have to learn a bit more about politics, but it’s a development plan for me, right? And I’m ready to learn.”
