This statement was made by the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Engr. Andrew Yakubu, at the combined graduation ceremony of Chief Officers Management Development programme of batches 069 to 072 in Abuja.
He reiterated the Corporation’s commitment to revive cooking gas consumption in Nigeria as it provides a cleaner and cheaper energy alternative.
According to Engr. Andrew Yakubu, NNPC’s footprint in the domestic gas market has attained unprecedented growth. He also stated that the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, is being repositioned to become a medium sized independent Exploration and Production Company with a production capacity of at least 250,000 barrels per day by the year 2015.
