The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Bashir Ojulari, has said the company is on track with its plans to increase Nigeria’s crude oil production to 1.8 million barrels per day before the end of the year.
Ojulari stated this in an interview on Sunday night after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at his private residence in Lagos, where he briefed the President on the company’s performance, investment drive, and progress toward achieving the administration’s production targets.
He said the NNPCL had made significant progress in oil and gas output, recording about 1.68 million barrels per day in September, the highest in five years, and over seven billion cubic feet of gas production daily, also the highest in recent times.
