Kyari who sits at the helm of affairs at the National Nigerian Petroleum Company Limited had earlier stated on his X handle how he went from being a beneficiary of the Almajiri school system to becoming the number one man at the national oil company.
He expressed his appreciation for the exceptional privilege given to him by Presidents Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Ahmed Tinubu to serve as the last GMD of the NNPC and the pioneer CEO of the NNPC Ltd.
Joining in the celebration, Tinubu in a statement through his Special Adviser on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga commended Kyari for his diligence in transforming the NNPCL into a profitable organisation.
The President recalls that despite cynicism in some quarters, the NNPCL under Kyari’s leadership has recorded notable achievements, including the resuscitation of two refineries, an increase in domestic natural gas consumption, and a boost in oil production to 1.8 million CH barrels per day.
According to President Tinubu, Kyari is a shining example and embodiment of the ideals of the Renewed Hope Agenda, commending his commitment to creating new opportunities and ensuring the growth and sustainability of Nigeria’s energy sector.
Tinubu prayed to Almighty Allah to continue to grant Kyari sound health, wisdom, and strength to serve the nation while mentoring the next generation of energy sector leaders.
