Bayo Ojulari, group chief executive officer (GCEO) of Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, has disclosed that Nigeria is now recording almost 100 percent crude oil receipts through pipelines and terminals.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ojulari made the disclosure on Monday during the 2025 African Chiefs of Defence Staff summit.
He said, “Today, I can proudly report to you all that our pipelines and terminal crude oil receipt, that was somewhere as low as 20 to 30 percent some periods back, we are attaining close to 100 percent due to the support of the security forces and intelligence agencies.”
“Again, this achievement would not have been possible without the professionalism, the discipline, the collaborative spirit of our defence and security institutions.”
While addressing rising geopolitical challenges, Ojulari reaffirmed NNPC’s commitment to deepening cooperation with security and intelligence agencies.
He added, “This support and collaboration have been demonstrated, as mentioned earlier, with our successes in industry-wide security architecture here in Nigeria, which has greatly reduced the incidence of sabotage, vandalism, crude theft, illegal refineries, illegal bunkering, and piracy.”
“We envision, by virtue of these gatherings and initiatives to be developed, an expanded architecture that takes into account the activities on a regional and continental level with all the enabling tools, policies, and technologies to allow seamless synergies and collaboration across borders.”
Ojulari further assured that Nigeria’s oil and gas sector stands ready to complement this effort, as they eagerly articulate the benefit to be accrued for the ultimate upliftment of all the stakeholders as citizenry across the country’s borders.
He stressed that through collective effort, Africa can better protect its resources, strengthen peace, and foster prosperity.
