OTL: NNPC Ltd Renews Commitment to Robust Downstream Infrastructural Development
The NNPC Ltd has reiterated its commitment to the development and revamping
of downstream across the country to enhance collaboration and drive efficiency in the sector.
Andy Odeh, Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPC Ltd. disclosed in a statement issued to newsmen on Monday.
According to Odeh, Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Bayo Ojulari, stated this at the opening ceremony of the 2025 OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week in Lagos on Monday.
Speaking on the conference’s theme “Energy Sustainability: Beyond Boundaries & Competition”, Ojulari said competition alone was no longer enough to drive efficiency, adding that operators must embrace collaboration, sustainability, and resilience as the new benchmarks for success.
“At NNPC, we are committed to deploying additional infrastructure across the oil
and gas value chain while revamping our existing downstream infrastructure
nationwide.
These assets will be accessible to partners seeking to store and transport products, supporting strategic alliances and collaboration in the downstream sector,” the GCEO said.
He disclosed that a cocktail of factors ranging from strategic policies and fiscal incentives to transparent and well-structured regulatory frameworks exemplified by the PIA have engendered expansion and growth in the sector requiring new skill
sets and further investments in new lines of business such as Liquefied Petroleum
Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and mini-LNG projects.
He urged participants at the conference to discuss challenges and align on
opportunities “to redefine energy systems in ways that are both profitable and sustainable, to forge cross-sector partnerships that transcend traditional competition, and to explore innovative business models and technologies that support decarbonization while driving economic value”.
The OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week is the continent’s leading downstream and midstream energy event for international organizations, policy makers, regulators, development organisations, operators, service providers, and consumers in the downstream energy value-chain.
