Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited marked a defining milestone in its global repositioning as Group Chief Executive Officer Bashir Bayo Ojulari received the Fellowship of the Energy Institute (FEI), one of the energy sector’s highest professional distinctions.
The organisers conferred the honour during International Energy Week in London, a premier platform that convenes global leaders to shape conversations on energy security, transition and investment.
Andy Brown, President of the Energy Institute, presented the Fellowship and commended Ojulari’s decisive leadership in steering NNPC Limited towards profitability, stronger governance and performance-driven operations.
Moreover, Brown highlighted Ojulari’s push for investor-focused reforms, disciplined execution and strategic global partnerships. As a result, NNPC Limited strengthened international confidence in Nigeria’s energy sector and reinforced its commercial credibility.
The recognition goes beyond personal achievement. It affirms NNPC Limited’s transition into a commercially focused, transparent and globally competitive energy company aligned with international best practices in governance, sustainability and energy transition management.
Furthermore, recognition at International Energy Week positions NNPC Limited at the centre of global engagement with policymakers, financiers, regulators and technology leaders. Consequently, the company consolidates its standing as a reform-oriented, investment-ready enterprise within the global energy ecosystem.
Under Ojulari’s leadership, NNPC Limited has driven enterprise-wide strategic direction, enforced operational discipline and advanced long-term value creation. At the same time, the company has strengthened Nigeria’s energy security and accelerated its transition ambitions.
The Fellowship signals rising international confidence in NNPC Limited’s reform trajectory and underscores its commitment to delivering sustainable value while expanding its role as a trusted global energy partner.
