Powerful persons plotting against Ojulari-led NNPCL— Analyst, Ogenyi tells Tinubu

Published on August 01, 2025 at 01:20 PM

Public affairs analyst and coordinator of the the Coalition for Good Governance and Change Initiatives, CGGCI, Okpokwu Ogenyi, has raised alarm about an alleged plot by some powerful individuals who are working to sabotage the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL.

Ogenyi urged the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to be vigilant and resist every attempt to frustrate the NNPCL.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, Ogenyi said attacks on the Bayo Ojulari-led NNPCL call for concern.

According to him, in the few months Ojulari has been at NNPCL, the state-owned oil firm has experienced growth with transparent monthly financial reports and revenue declarations.

“We respectfully urge His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to remain vigilant and discerning regarding the motives of those peddling unfounded allegations and character assassinations against the GMD. These blackmailers seek to reverse the progress made and reinstall individuals who will continue the cycles of corruption that Mr. Ojulari is dismantling.

“The President’s choice of Mr. Bayo Ojulari was based on proven competence, credibility, and industry expertise. We must not allow deceptive lobbying to taint the integrity of that decision or disrupt the much-needed reforms currently taking root, as Mr. Bayo Ojulari is clearly committed to Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.”

“Mr. Ojulari initiated a sweeping audit of long-standing, opaque contracts, particularly those involving crude lifting and infrastructure projects. This has exposed inflated costs and revenue leakages, many of which are now under internal review.

“Under his directive, the NNPC now operates a real-time reporting dashboard for critical operations—ensuring better monitoring of crude production, refining activities, and fuel distribution nationwide.

“Mr. Ojulari has ended several shady deals with unqualified intermediaries and shell entities used to syphon national resources. This alone has saved billions in prospective losses to the nation.

“For the first time in years, whistleblowing and internal accountability are being actively encouraged at NNPC. Dozens of staff have been reassigned, and internal oversight units strengthened,” he stated.

DAILY POST recalls that NNPCL recently raised concerns over plots to sabotage the company.
