April 24, 2023 [Nairametrics] – President Muhammadu Buhari said his administration has put an adaptive framework in place to ensure that indigenous companies take advantage of the investments made by international oil companies.

 

The President stated this while giving a speech at the ongoing 2023 Nigerian International Energy Summit (NIES).

According to him, the framework has already helped indigenous companies to grow their capacity, as they are now responsible for 5% of national oil and gas production output which increased from 2% as of 2010.

Also, during his speech at the NIES, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, Mele Kyari, said that the NNPC is leveraging partnerships with the industry, government, research institutions and academia to ensure energy security and sustainability.
