The headline figure, however, is the ₦5.4 trillion Profit After Tax (PAT), which represents a substantial 64% jump compared to the previous year. This performance, announced by NNPC Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO), Bashir Bayo Ojulari, in Abuja on Monday, signifies one of the strongest financial outings since the company transitioned into a commercially driven entity under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).

The GCEO attributed the exceptional results to several critical factors, including enhanced operational efficiency across the company’s assets, the positive impact of downstream market reforms, and an “unwavering commitment to cost discipline.” He particularly noted that the Central Bank of Nigeria’s decision to float the local currency positively impacted the company’s financial position, contributing significantly to the boosted profits.

Ojulari emphasized that the robust earnings underscore the “positive momentum of our ongoing transformation” and offer a solid foundation for ambitious growth ahead. As a result of the strong financials, NNPC Ltd. has unveiled a comprehensive strategic roadmap aimed at sustaining this trajectory.
