Dangote and his team also met with members of the NNPC’s Senior Management Team at the NNPC Towers, on Thursday.
The visit is part of ongoing efforts to promote mutually beneficial partnerships between the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) and Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals (DPRP), as they strive to foster healthy competition within the Nigerian oil and gas sector.
Their discussion gave birth to renewed pledge to deepen collaboration aimed at ensuring Nigeria’s energy security and advancing shared prosperity for Nigerians.

While congratulating the GCEO and the Senior Management Team on their ”well-deserved appointments,” Dangote acknowledged the enormity of the responsibility ahead, noting that the GCEO is shouldering a monumental task, which he expressed confidence that, with the capable hands at his disposal in NNPC, the task is surmountable.

Ojulari highlighted the exceptional caliber of talent he met in NNPC Ltd., describing the workforce as dedicated, highly skilled, and hardworking professionals who are consistently keen on delivering value for Nigeria.
Expressing the company’s readiness to build a legacy of national prosperity through innovation and shared purpose, Ojulari said NNPC will sustain its collaboration with the Dangote Group especially where there is commercial advantage for Nigeria.
Both executives also committed to being the relationship managers for their respective organisations through sustained productive collaboration and healthy competition, thereby envisioning limitless opportunities for both organisations.
