Widely regarded as the “Davos of energy,” CERAWeek sets the agenda for investment, policy, and innovation at a time when global fuel markets face unprecedented volatility.

In his presentation, Ojulari reaffirmed Nigeria’s strategic direction, stressing that the government’s approach is deliberate and grounded—anchored on realism, strengthened by partnerships, and driven by disciplined execution.

“With the policy clarity and commercial autonomy provided under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, NNPC Limited is firmly positioned to pursue long‑term, value‑driven solutions,” he said. Ojulari emphasised that Nigeria today stands as a credible, competitive, and dependable destination for the energy investment the world requires.
