Bashir Bayo Ojulari, Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, has emphasized Nigeria’s strengthening position as a competitive destination for global energy investment.
Speaking following his participation at CERAWeek 2026 in Houston, Ojulari noted that international capital is increasingly drawn to markets where value is clearly demonstrated. He stated that Nigeria is showing consistent progress in this regard, supported by policy direction and strategic reforms.
The conference, themed “Convergence and Competition: Energy, Technology and Geopolitics,” brought together global energy leaders, senior executives, government officials, and policymakers to discuss the future of the energy sector. During the engagements, Ojulari reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to a pragmatic and partnership-driven approach to energy development.
According to him, recent policy clarity and commercial autonomy under the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu have strengthened NNPC Limited’s ability to operate with a long-term, value-focused strategy. He added that the company is leveraging these reforms to pursue sustainable and investment-friendly initiatives.
Ojulari further stated that Nigeria is positioning itself as a credible, dependable, and competitive player in the global energy market, capable of attracting the level of investment required to meet evolving global energy demands.
His remarks come amid ongoing efforts by the Nigerian government and industry stakeholders to boost investor confidence and expand the country’s role in the international energy landscape.
