NNPCL's Bayo Ojulari Lauded for Fuel Discount Initiative

The Coalition of Citizens Groups for Good Governance commended Bayo Ojulari, group chief executive officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), for the announcement of a 30-day petrol discount. The coalition described this initiative as a positive measure to alleviate the financial burden of high fuel prices on Nigerians.

In a statement signed by Dr Nath Oguche and Chidumga Odinkalu, the coalition emphasized that the fuel discount, alongside innovations like self-service smart pumps, reflects effective leadership and a responsive governance approach. They noted that these initiatives could provide temporary relief to households and businesses facing rising transportation costs.

The coalition also praised NNPCL's efforts to enhance transparency and reduce corruption, highlighting the importance of institutional reforms that yield practical benefits for citizens. They asserted that public institutions should be evaluated based on the tangible improvements they deliver, and they encouraged NNPCL's management to continue these reforms to rebuild public confidence in the company.
