Abuja, November 29, 2023: Malam Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, has expressed his gratitude to stakeholders and Nigerians for their enthusiastic reception of his reappointment by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
In a press release issued today, Kyari views his reappointment as a renewed challenge and is determined to prioritize the stabilization of the oil industry and enhance service delivery to boost revenue for the nation.
