The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. (NNPCL) is charting a sustainable course for Africa’s energy future through technology deployment, business integration and strategic partnerships.
Mr. Mumuni Dagazau, the Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Ltd., stated this at a high-level panel session on the Future of Refining during the ongoing 2025 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC).
Dagazau said the company was redefining its operations around sustainability and full integration to ensure long-term profitability in a rapidly decarbonising global energy landscape.
“Decarbonisation is no longer an option but a licence to operate.
“Energy transition must balance cost, energy security and environmental responsibility.”
Dagazau said Nigeria’s challenge and opportunity depends on expanding its energy availability while pursuing decarbonisation targets.
“Success, for us, means remaining a sustainable and profitable business, 20 years from now.
“To ensure energy security, we must deploy technology with partnerships.
“We are integrating our refining, petrochemical and retail operations to protect future product requirements for Nigeria and Africa,” he said.
Dagazau reiterated NNPC Ltd.’s commitment to leading Africa’s energy transformation through strategic, sustainable and commercially viable investments.
Meanwhile, the NNPC Ltd. has won the Best Stand Design Award at the ongoing Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2025).
The award recognises NNPC Ltd.’s outstanding exhibition stand, which highlights its key projects, sustainability initiatives, and energy transition efforts.
ADIPEC, one of the world’s largest energy conferences, had its theme for this year’s event as “Energy. Intelligence. Impact”, and it brought together global industry leaders, investors, and policymakers.
NNPC Ltd.’s display features strategic projects such as the Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline and the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative, reflecting the company’s drive for innovation and its contribution to Africa’s energy development.
The company’s participation at ADIPEC 2025 includes executive engagements, meetings with international partners, and media interactions aimed at strengthening collaboration within the global energy sector.
