‘False, Unfounded,’ NNPCL Punctures Ex-COO Bello Rabiu’s Crude Swap Statement
‘NNPCL Still Swaps Crude For 1 Million MT Fuel Supply’
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) declared after the meeting that these former GMDs expressed unwavering support for the current leadership and their commendable efforts in advancing the company’s strategic objectives across key sectors.
The Criticism
Beyond this, Platforms Africa gathered the six men who have once led the multi-million dollars oil giant declared that information in the public domain on NNPC’s operations since transition to a private commercial entity is limited.
This, they said, has led to
misleading commentary, “which we believe is not in tandem with the strides
achieved by the company.”
The Communique
Here, below, is the communique issued at the end of the meeting.
Today, 20th July 2024, NNPC hosted a CEO Forum attended by the underlisted with the senior management staff.
‘Do And Die;’ 10 Reasons Male Bees Die After Mating Female
Rice Or Fries, Food Has No Taste In Space. Here’ Why
The forum provided insights on NNPC’s transition post PIA, the challenges and opportunities therefrom.
We obtained insights into NNPC’s business activities in the context of global
energy industry dynamics, strategic aspirations, and operational updates. In
particular, oil and gas production growth plan, gas infrastructure project
delivery plan, progress on refinery rehabilitation, and issues related to
petroleum product supply and energy security were discussed.
The Commendations
We commend Mele Kyari as the first Group CEO to implement the PIA, and
noted with satisfaction the progress made with hope that its limitations will
be addressed over time.
We also acknowledge with satisfaction the significant progress made in:
– Increasing crude oil and gas production
– Funding of upstream operations and investments

United Nations Institute Names Adeola Yusuf Panelist For African IDEP Event
– Gas supply and infrastructure development for domestic and export
including CNG and LPG delivery
– Refineries rehabilitation progress
– Reduction in carbon emissions and commercialisation of Nigeria’s vast gas resources
We expressed our satisfaction in the achievements recorded and encouraged the management team to continue advancing strategies to
improve operations, grow portfolio, and manage talent.
We note with satisfaction the continuation of the policy on recruitment
which takes into consideration the principles of diversity and inclusion as well as performance based career progression via a transparent process.
We also noted that limited information is in the public domain on NNPC’s
operations since transition to a private commercial entity. This has led to
misleading commentary, which we believe is not in tandem with the strides
achieved by the company.
We empathise with the management team over the state of onshore
operations with over seven thousand illegal refineries destroyed and over
five thousand illegal connections removed.
We reiterate that any attack on crude oil and gas facilities as well as illegal
refining are acts of criminality and economic sabotage. Therefore, all
activities hindering oil and gas exploration and production in Nigeria must
be sanctioned.

We appreciate that the PIA has made provisions for the Host communities’
development and also provided for sustainable funding. We trust that
Government Security Agencies will do the needful and ensure that crude oil
theft, illegal refining, and activities of pipeline vandals are stopped to allow
for investment and growth of Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
We appreciate the support that all tiers of government and the Nigerian
citizens continue to give NNPC and trust that this will be sustained by the
present administration of H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
