***Lauds Reforms on Transparency, Improved Crude Production
The Coalition of Civil Society for Transparency in the Extractive Industry (CCSTEI) has highly commended the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd), Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, for his transformative leadership in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja. the coalition’s National Coordinator, Dr. Agabi Emanuel praised Ojulari’s bold reforms that have enhanced transparency, boosted operational efficiency, and driven significant improvements in crude oil production.
The CCSTEI highlighted that since Ojulari’s appointment in April 2025, NNPC Ltd has shifted from longstanding perceptions of opacity and inefficiency to a more commercially driven and accountable entity.
Key achievements noted include the consistent publication of monthly performance reports, which have fostered real-time stakeholder oversight.
Financially, the coalition applauded the company’s 2024 audited results, which showed a record revenue of ₦45.1 trillion and a profit after tax of ₦5.4 trillion – marking a 64% year-on-year growth in profit.
On the production front, the group celebrated the milestone reached by NNPC Exploration and Production Limited (NEPL), the company’s upstream subsidiary, which hit a daily crude oil output of 355,000 barrels on December 1, 2025 – the highest in 36 years.
This contributed to an average daily production increase of 52%, from 203,000 barrels per day in 2023 to 312,000 barrels per day in 2025.
The statement also acknowledged ongoing investments in gas infrastructure, including progress on projects like the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) pipeline, Escravos-Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS), and Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben (OB3) pipeline, aimed at achieving ambitious targets of 10 billion cubic feet per day by 2027 and 12 billion by 2030.
While recognizing persistent challenges such as lingering public skepticism, oil theft, and global energy transitions, the CCSTEI called for continued support for Ojulari’s leadership.
It recommended further enhancements in public engagement, third-party audits, anti-corruption measures, local content development, and alignment with energy transition goals.
Concluding the appraisal, Dr. Emanuel stated: “Bashir Bayo Ojulari and his team for restoring confidence in NNPC Limited after many challenging years.
“You have proven that visionary leadership, coupled with accountability and performance excellence, can redefine an institution for the better. We charge you to soldier on undeterred.
“The Nigerian people are watching, and with your continued resolve, NNPC Limited will not only drive economic prosperity but also serve as a beacon of transparent governance in Africa.”

Unity Beyond Religion As Sheikh Kandayasu Imodola Leads Historic Twin Festival In Ogun
Unity Beyond Religion As Sheikh Kandayasu Imodola Leads Historic Twin Festival In Ogun
Abeokuta, Ogun State, came alive on Sunday, December 14, 2025, as Sheikh Zakariyah Idris Imodola, fondly known as Sheikh Kandayasu, led a remarkable twin celebration that blended faith, thanksgiving and community development.
The event, held at Arokoje area, Obantoko, witnessed the Maulud Nabiyy celebration marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad alongside the official foundation laying for a new mosque in the community.
The colourful gathering was organised by the JAMHIYATUL FATIHATUL KHARAAT group, founded about fifteen years ago by the revered cleric. Addressing a large congregation of Islamic scholars, community leaders and well-wishers, Sheikh Imodola expressed deep gratitude to Allah for sustaining the group over the years and guiding it to a moment he described as divinely appointed.
According to him, God owns time and seasons, stressing that the decision to commence the mosque project was not by human effort but divine timing. He explained that the invitation extended to guests was a reflection that the moment ordained by Allah had arrived, adding that every step taken by the group was rooted in sincere service to God.
Speaking further, the Islamic scholar reflected on the essence of Maulud Nabiyy, noting that while many celebrate the Prophet’s birthday, true servants of God are distinguished by sincerity and sacrifice. He emphasised that the reward for those who work for God differs greatly from those who pursue personal gains, stating that all the activities of the group were carried out for God alone and not for money.
Sheikh Imodola also cautioned against religious showmanship, noting that some people use religion to project status and lifestyle rather than genuine devotion. He revealed future plans aimed at strengthening Islamic values, particularly the establishment of a Quranic learning centre where children would be properly guided to prevent moral deviation.
Special guest at the event, Chief Joju Fadairo, congratulated the hosts on the twin celebration and the mosque project. In a message that resonated strongly with attendees, he stressed that there should be no division between Islam and Christianity, describing adherents of both faiths as children of the same parents who must coexist in unity and love.
Chief Fadairo added that religious crisis is alien to Yorubaland due to deep family ties across faiths, noting that it is common to find Muslims and Christians within the same family. He prayed for the successful completion of the mosque in peace and joy, pledging to personally return to pray with the congregation once the project is completed.
Also speaking, Alhaji Mutiu Afod thanked God and Sheikh Kandayasu for the Maulud Nabiyy celebration and the fifteenth anniversary of the group. He described Sheikh Imodola as a man whose goodness and leadership speak naturally without noise or self-praise, noting that since his arrival in Abeokuta, God has favoured him and endeared him to the people through generosity and compassion.
The event attracted notable personalities, including Alhaji Sheikh Lukman, Alhaji Olowoshile, Imam Tejumola, Alhaji Lukman Booseere, Imam Ibrahim Balogun, Imam Yusuf, Imam Ibrahim CBN, and Mr Kehinde, Deputy Comptroller of Immigration, among others, who joined the community in celebrating a day marked by faith, unity and hope for the future.
