President Buhari said that the generation of profits by the NNPC is “consistent with this administration’s commitment to ensuring prudent management of resources for the Nigerian people from their natural resources”.

In furtherance, President Buhari congratulated the Board, Management and Staff of NNPC and looked forward to them creating a greater value for the Nigerian people.
