He however called for more investments to boost production, adding that NNPC Ltd has been able to turn the narrative around by consistently meeting its cash-call obligations to Joint Venture operations.

He said the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) has placed NNPC Ltd in a good position to live up to its responsibility of leading the industry in financing projects.

On his vision for the NOG 2025, he said he would like the conference to transit from a talkshop to one where performances are celebrated and investment deals closed.
