Energy Security : Ojulari Advocates United Infrastructure Policy and Capital

The Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd, Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, has identified shared infrastructure, policy alignment, coordinated investment frameworks,  integrated gas market development, and sustained regional diplomacy among National Oil Companies (NOCs) as key pillars for securing Africa’s energy future.

Ojulari disclosed this in a chat with Mr. Andy Brown, Deputy Chair of Ørsted and President of the Energy Institute, at the 2026 International Energy Week (IEW) in London.

In a statement, Ojulari said NNPC Ltd’s ongoing regional gas initiatives demonstrate how shared assets can unlock scale, efficiency, and resilience.

He emphasised that accelerated delivery of flagship projects such as the Nigeria–Morocco Gas Pipeline and the expansion of the West African Gas Pipeline is critical to strengthening regional integration and advancing cross-border energy trade.

He further explained NNPC Ltd’s ambition to raise oil output, expand gas production, and attract investment, for economic development and a contributor to global climate goals.

The International Energy Week (IEW) is a premier global energy leadership platform that convenes policymakers, industry executives, investors, regulators, technology innovators, and thought leaders to shape dialogue on the future of energy security, transition pathways, capital formation, and sustainability.
