  "summary": "The Centre for Reforms and Good Governance (CRGG) has applauded the leadership of Bashir Bayo Ojulari as Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), stating that his reforms have significantly increased public trust in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. According to the CRGG, Ojulari’s tenure has seen transformative changes in the commercialisation and professionalisation of NNPCL, resulting in measurable gains across various sectors. The Centre highlighted the dramatic rise in upstream oil production, financial performance, transparency, infrastructure delivery, and investor confidence under Ojulari’s stewardship. Notably, NNPCL recorded N19.04 trillion in revenue and N2.28 trillion in profit after tax from January to June 2026, with statutory remittances to the Federation Account reaching N7.913 trillion by the end of July 2026. These achievements indicate a marked improvement from past patterns of inefficiency and opacity, reinforcing the administration's commitment to integrity and competence in managing Nigeria's strategic national resource.",
