Wednesdays overhaul of Nigerias state-run oil company NNPCL did not come as a surprise to keen observers who have vociferously pressed for reforms in the upstream and downstream sectors after the epochal birthing of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021, and the subsequent commercialisation of the state-run oil company in July 2022.Advertisement Having given the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) about two years to ramp up performance, President Bola Tinubu sacked all the Board members of the company on April 2, 2025.Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga was unequivocal with the reasons for the restructuring, which he said was crucial for enhancing operational efficiency, restoring investor confidence, boosting local content, driving economic growth, and advancing gas commercialisation and diversification.Though some commentators have described the restructuring as long overdue, it is better late than never.Advertisement Significantly, the president removed Mele Kyar...
