Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, took the stage at the PENGASSAN Energy and Labour Summit in Abuja, Nigeria, where he presented a keynote address focusing on “A Vision for Deregulation and Gas Utilization for Sustainable Energy in Nigeria.” In his address, Mr. Kyari advocated for an inclusive and equitable energy transition strategy that safeguards resource-dependent nations like Nigeria, enabling them to harness their current resources to build the infrastructure needed for a prosperous future.
Highlighting the urgency of the matter, Mr. Kyari emphasized the need for a significant shift in focus, particularly within the mass transportation sector. He called for the widespread adoption of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a pivotal element in aligning with the Federal Government’s commitment to gas as the primary energy transition fuel.
Furthermore, Mr. Kyari expressed confidence in Nigeria’s preparedness to become a net exporter of petroleum products by 2024. He underscored that this achievement is not only on the horizon but also in line with President [President’s Name] administration’s objective of providing immediate benefits through sufficient domestic production while simultaneously generating export revenue.
Mr. Kyari’s address at the PENGASSAN Energy and Labour Summit underscores NNPC Limited’s commitment to sustainable energy development in Nigeria, fostering economic growth, and ensuring that the country harnesses its vast resources for future prosperity.
The PENGASSAN Energy and Labour Summit continues to provide a platform for vital discussions and collaborations among stakeholders in Nigeria’s energy sector, further advancing the nation’s energy agenda.
