In his capacity as the Minister of Petroleum Resources, President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the incorporation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, in a bid to prepare the Federal Government for the Petroleum Industry Act. The President also approved the board of the new company.

This was disclosed in a statement by Garba Shehu, the President’s Spokesman on Sunday in Abuja, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.

The Presidency said the move is in line with Section 53(1) of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, which requires the Minister of Petroleum Resources to call for the incorporation of the NNPC Limited within six months of the commencement of the Act.
