The NYCN also acknowledged the efforts of Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for his continuous investment in human capital development, which has enabled Kwarans to take up key positions at the national level.
Furthermore, the Council praised President Tinubu’s strategic leadership in ensuring that highly qualified individuals take on critical roles in national development, highlighting Ojulari’s appointment as proof of this commitment.
“With his wealth of experience, including his tenure as Executive Vice President and CEO of Renaissance Africa Energy, we are confident that Engr. Ojulari will introduce innovative strategies that will propel NNPCL to greater heights. His expertise in leading major acquisitions and promoting indigenous participation in the industry makes him well-equipped for the task ahead,” the statement added.

The NYCN assured him of its full support, emphasizing its readiness to collaborate in advancing Nigeria’s energy sector towards efficiency and sustainability.
