May 09, (THEWILL) – The Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals (DPRP) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited have assured Nigerians of collaboration to ensure energy security in the country.
The President/Chief Executive of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, disclosed this on Thursday, after a visit to the Bashir Bayo Ojulari-led management of the ZNNPC Ltd.
Dangote, who led his delegation on a visit to Ojulari, and members of the company’s Senior Management Team at the NNPC Towers, on Thursday, emphasised that there is no competition between the two oil companies.
“There is no competition between us; we are not here to compete with NNPC Ltd. NNPC is part and parcel of our business, and we are also part of NNPC. This is an era of co-operation between the two organisations”, he said.
Congratulating the new NNPC GCEO and Senior Management Team on their appointments, Dangote acknowledged the enormity of the responsibility ahead, noting that the GCEO shoulders a monumental task, which he expressed confidence that, with the capable hands at his disposal in NNPC, the task is surmountable.
In his remarks, Ojulari assured Dangote of a mutually beneficial partnership anchored on healthy competition and productive collaboration.
Expressing the company’s readiness to build a legacy of national prosperity through innovation and shared purpose, Ojulari said NNPC will sustain its collaboration with the Dangote Group, especially where there is commercial advantage for Nigeria.
Both executives also committed to being the relationship managers for their respective organisations through sustained productive collaboration and healthy competition, thereby envisioning limitless opportunities for both organisations.
