Omo, make we yarn about NNPC matter wey dey hot for Naija currently. Bayo Ojulari, di big man for NNPC, don land with plenty plans wey go change di wahala for oil and gas sector. He don dey talk say dem don start to adapt for di changing global economy wey dey push for energy transition.
This guy don sabi how to mix experienced people wey don dey long for NNPC system with fresh hands wey sabi international market. E good to sabi sey change na wetin every organization need, especially for dis oil sector wey dey face plenty wahala like pipeline vandalization and security matter for our Niger Delta.
Bayo come clear sey NNPC no dey hide anymore; dem don ready to do things wey go make dem respected globally. E don set new strategies to attract investors as dem dey work on partnership wey go benefit all dem stakeholders. E no wan make NNPC be di big man wey just dey do everything alone again; instead, dem dey build relationship wey dey transparent.
As una fit imagine, na some big tech wahala dey ground for dem to tackle pipeline vandalism. Di Federal Government don put some serious surveillance system wey go help dem monitor pipelines well-well. Some people dey call am drone technology, and it dey work well as dem fit now check wetin dey happen for all dem areas.
But no be say na so e go be for oil production level. We don dey hear different targets: 1.8 million barrels or even 2 million barrels per day, but di koko wey dey underneath be say dem never build enough opportunities and investments for di sector.
NNPC dey face challenges wey no be small as dem need to speed-up di contracting cycle. Bayo talk sey dem gut need to collaborate heavily with investors so dem fit generate di right volumes wey go fill di pipelines dem don fix. E also don talk say anytime dem projec. e fit bring untimely wahala. He don vow sey dem go set realistic targets and stick with am.
As for di refineries, e no be new thing say dem dey struggle. Di last time wey people talk about NNPC and dem refineries, frustration dey high. Bayo talk sey dem go first stop di losses wey dey ground. Di aim now na to really assess wetin dey happen and find better solutions. He sabi say how to make di refinery work na financing, competent contractors, and operational capacity. E don realize say unless dem balance all dis tinz, na so dem go dey waste money.
In summary, na serious transformation dey happen for NNPC, before we know am, if dem fit keep on dis lane, e go make Naija proud for di oil and gas sector again. Na so far we go yearn about di changes for dis sector, and as we dey look forward, make we pray say di oil price no go drop woefully, make dem fit meet dem targets, abeg!
