It charged the new leadership of NNPCL to seize the opportunity to change the narratives of NNPCL by ensuring that its operations genuinely serve the interests of the Nigerian people, not just a privileged few.

“Nigerians deserve an NNPCL that works for them, reduces economic hardship, and supports national growth. This is the time to take bold, strategic decisions that will leave a lasting positive impact.”
It said FOST remained confident that under the new leadership, NNPCL will embrace reforms that prioritize the masses, boost energy security, and drive sustainable economic progress.
