I will be speaking at ADIPEC on "Nigeria's Reform Agenda: Competing for Energy Capital."
The reforms are showing in the results: crude output at a five-year high, a final investment decision on Ima gas, and agreements advancing the Bonga Southwest deepwater project.

This evening, I presented the NNPC Limited 2025 Annual Financial Report to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, at the State House.
The report reflects a year of disciplined delivery: revenue of โฆ34.5 trillion, Profit After Tax of โฆ7.2 trillion (up 33%), and a โฆ5.8 trillion dividend.
Presenting this report is more than a statutory obligation. It is an account of stewardship to the President and to the Nigerian people, whose resources we are entrusted to manage.
The FY2025 Annual Financial Report is now available to the public.
I thank Mr President for his continued support of NNPC Limited and for the confidence placed in our team.
Congratulations to @NUPRCofficial on 5 years of delivering regulatory clarity and driving investment. Thank you, Mrs Oritsemyiwa Eyesan and the team.
I acknowledge President Tinubu, GCFR @officialABAT, whose leadership guides the reforms behind this progress, represented by VP Shettima, GCON @KashimSM
Under the PIA, NUPRC has shown that effective regulation goes beyond oversight. It is a catalyst for investment, growth and sustainable value creation.
The stars are lined up. Now we must attract investment, commercialise undeveloped resources and strengthen Nigeria's competitiveness, with policy consistency and regulatory predictability.
NNPC Limited is committed to this partnership. Here's to the next five years.
Last year, I sat with one of our Tigers to talk through what our numbers really say about the business, and what they mean for the nation. This year is no different.
These conversations do more than connect me with our young professionals within NNPC Limited. They connect me with young professionals everywhere, in Nigeria and beyond, who want to understand what The NNPC Way is truly about: the numbers behind our FY2025 performance, the business driving them, and the people who make that growth possible.
That's the story we're telling. Watch it, and let's keep going!

2025 tested the resilience of the entire energy sector. NNPC Limited responded with focus, discipline, and delivery.
We closed the year with a Profit After Tax of โฆ7.2tn, up 33%, on revenue of โฆ34.5tn, with EPS up 32% to โฆ35.90.
Revenue softened by 24%, reflecting lower crude oil prices and reduced white product volumes after petrol price deregulation in October 2024 removed our bulk-breaking role. Even so, remittances to government continued to rise, a clear demonstration of the value we continue to create for the nation. Operational strength held firm too: EBITDA up 22% to โฆ18.0tn, operating cash flow up 16% to โฆ12.8tn.
Beyond the numbers: converting Nigeria's hydrocarbon wealth into electricity, industry, jobs, and fiscal stability. Building a stronger energy future for Nigeria and beyond.
The key highlights, at a glance.
NNPC Ltd. welcomes the $800m Final Investment Decision on the Ima Gas Project, developed by AMNI International with TotalEnergies, offshore OMLs 112 & 117. Up to 300 mmscf/d at peak, feeding NLNG's Train 7 expansion (22 โ 30 Mtpa).
The 4th major gas FID under President Tinubu, after Iseni, Ubeta & HI, unlocked by the 2024 Presidential Directives on non-associated gas.
Indigenous operator. International partner. Nigerian capital. A model worth repeating.
Certainty attracts capital.๐
At Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, NNPC Ltd is setting out the path to a global gas hub.
As echoed by our EVP, Gas, Power & New Energy, Olalekan Ogunleye, our strategy is anchored on the Petroleum Industry Act, the Decade of Gas Framework, and our Gas Master Plan, all pointing toward a clear near-term target: 10 billion cubic feet per day of national gas production by 2027, rising to 12 Bcf/d by 2030.
Over 215tcf of proven reserves gives Nigeria what the moment demands. The work now is coordination and delivery.
Proud of the team carrying this conversation forward on the global stage this week.
Our target is set. Now we execute, with discipline and with partners.

NNPC Ltd and our OML 118 contractor partiesโShell SNEPCo, Esso, and NAEโhave executed the PSC & DSA addenda for Bonga Southwest/Aparo, moving us closer to FID.
This is about more than barrels.
It's about:
โ
Up to $15Bโ$21B in potential investment
โ
175 kbopd oil + 140 mmscfd gas
โ
Nigerian jobs and local content creation
โ
Stronger supply chains
โ
Real revenue for our nation
Thank you to President Tinubu (@officialABAT) for the 2026 Deep Offshore Incentives Order, and to our regulators, contractor parties, and teams for their dedication. Together, we're creating an environment where everyone wins.
BSWAp is ours to deliver. Together.
Nigeria Just Made Offshore Oil Investment Simpler and More Attractive.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) @officialABAT has signed the Deep Offshore Oil and Gas Projects Incentives (Tax Remission) Order, 2026, replacing years of case-by-case negotiation with one clear, transparent framework. Up to $50 billion in new investment. Bonga South West as the first beneficiary. And NNPC Limited @nnpclimited standing as the Federation's nominated counterparty, ready to implement the PSC amendments to bring it to life.
This means more jobs for Nigerians, deeper local supply chains, faster progress toward our 3 million barrels per day production ambition by 2030.
As always, certainty attracts capital. Nigeria is showing the world it's ready.

Over a week ago, we celebrated the deployment of over 1,000 young professionals into NNPC Ltd.
Numbers tell one story. Their voices tell another. Here's what they have to say.
Proud of the energy they bring to NNPC Ltd.
Welcome! Once again.
Today marked a huge milestone for us as we officially deployed over 1,000 young professionals into NNPC Ltd after one year of internship, intensive training, and evaluation.
During the event, I listened to some of them share their recruitment stories, raw, unscripted, and real. Different paths, but the same door. And we opened it. That's what NNPC Ltd stands for today: not who you know or where you're from, but what you can do.
Their offer letters got them in, but their work this past year kept them here. They proved themselves day after day, under real pressure, and that's the standard we're building. Talent. Hard work. Fairness.
To the over 1,000 newly deployed: you are not just our future. You are our present. Our energy. Our proof. So don't hesitate to lend your voice, share your opinions, and challenge the status quo. Own your development.
But don't forget the wait. Don't forget the process. Because one day, when you're sitting where I am, you'll remember this moment, and you'll open that same door for someone else.
Welcome. Now let's build.
Heads of State across ECOWAS have signed the Intergovernmental Agreement for the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline (AAGP) at the ECOWAS Summit in Freetown, Sierra Leone โ reflecting the clear mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the shared vision he holds with His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco.
This is a defining step toward implementation, giving the AAGP the sovereign, political & legal foundation it needs to move from vision to delivery.
Once complete, the AAGP will:
โข Transport ~3 bcf/d of Nigerian gas to market
โข Deliver ~30 bcm/year across ~6,900km of pipeline
โข Link Nigeria, the Sahel, Morocco & Europe
โข Drive industrialisation and unlock new value chains across West Africa
NNPC Limited continues to co-lead this effort with Morocco's ONHYM. Grateful to every partner behind this milestone.
Now, we build.

I have always told my team that collaboration isn't optional; it's the only path to unlocking our full potential as a company, as a country, and as a continent. The time to build together is now!

Proud of what my team and I delivered at NOG Energy Week 2026, from my keynote address to every conversation in between.

That shift in identity is the foundation for everything we're building towards, from deepening partnerships across the industry to accelerating Africa's energy prosperity.
๐ฝ๏ธ A look back at the week, through our lens, below. . #NNPCLimited #EcoSystemBuilder #AfricasEnergyProsperity #NOG2026
"The future of African energy will not be determined solely by the resources beneath our soil. It will be determined by the quality of the partnerships we forge above it."
From my keynote at NOG Energy Week 2026. #NNPCLimited #AfricanEnergyVision #ResourcesToProsperity
A year ago, at NOG 2025, I spoke about transforming NNPC into a transparent, high-performing energy company. Today, I remain convinced that those principles are still imperative for sustainable energy prosperity. Yet, as important as they are, the past year has reinforced another, equally important truth: ๐ง๐จ ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ค ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and disruptions to shipping routes have proven that energy security cannot be taken for granted, and the winners of the next era won't be those with the largest reserves, but those who build the most effective partnerships.
Africa's challenge is not a shortage of hydrocarbons, talent, or opportunity โ it is the persistent fragmentation of the ecosystem required to convert resources into prosperity. The continent possesses ~17% of global natural gas reserves, vast critical minerals and, perhaps, one of the youngest populations on earth, yet it attracts a disproportionately small share of global energy investment. This must change, and that change requires a fundamental shift in mindset.
For Nigeria and Africa, that means:
๐น Strategic partnerships over transactional deals
๐น Integrated value chains in place of isolated projects
๐น Industrial economies built on our resources, not raw exports of them
๐น Turning research into industrial capacity
๐น Stable, investment-friendly regulation
๐น Developing indigenous technical capacity to compete globally
At NNPC, we no longer see ourselves as just an energy producer, but an ecosystem builder; connecting capital, technology, policy, talent, and markets to turn resources into shared prosperity.
The opportunity is extraordinary. The responsibility is ours. The time to act is now. #NOGEnergyWeek2026 #NNPCLimited #AfricanEnergy #EnergyEconomies
Fixing a refinery takes more than pipes and pumps. It takes the right partners.
That's the thinking behind the MoU recently signed for the Port Harcourt and Warri Refineries, now moving into a rigorous evaluation phase.

The vision includes expanding the petrochemicals value chain and investing in gas-based industries, including new methanol plants.
Real change isn't announced once. It's built through discipline applied consistently, at every stage, until it becomes how things are done.

What success looks like at NNPC Limited goes beyond scorecards. It's about legacy.
A few days ago, I sat in our Extended Senior Management Meeting with our EVPs in the room. But what struck me wasn't the agenda โ it was the seating: no head of the table, no ranks reserved, just people, side by side. Age and hierarchy gave way to something bigger, genuine collaboration.
As a leader, that wasn't just encouraging; it ignited hope.
This is what our "Fit-For-Future" agenda is really about โ 4 pillars we live, not just talk:
โ Execution Excellence
โ Profitable Growth
โ Partners of Choice
โ Enterprise-First Mindset
The new NNPC Limited is not about one leader or one season. It's a movement โ steady, lasting, and ours.
We're building something that outlasts us.
