President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited (NNPCL), Mallam Mele Kolo Kyari, on his 60th birthday, which comes up on Wednesday.
The President commended Kyari’s diligence in transforming NNPCL into a profitable organisation.
He recalled that, despite cynicism in some quarters, the NNPCL, under Kyari’s leadership, has recorded notable achievements, including the resuscitation of two refineries, an increase in domestic natural gas consumption and a boost in oil production to 1.8 million barrels per day.
President Tinubu applauded Kyari’s dedication to service and the professionalism he has maintained throughout his distinguished career at the old Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and as the first Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL.
“Kyari is a shining example and embodiment of the ideals of the Renewed Hope Agenda. I commend his commitment to creating new opportunities and ensuring the growth and sustainability of Nigeria’s energy sector”, the President Tinubu said.
He prayed to Almighty Allah to continue to grant Kyari sound health, wisdom, and strength to serve the nation while mentoring the next generation of energy sector leaders.
