• As NNPC showcases roadmap toward making Energy Hub of Africa in London*

Speaking during a panel session titled “Spotlight on Africa”, Mr. Wunti invited investors to Nigeria in line with the Federal Government’s drive for wooing International Investors to the Nigerian economy.

He said all bottlenecks hindering businesses were being done away with and many business owners now carry out their business with fewer hitches as a result of the Buhari administration’s economic policies.

“I invite you all to a country that has massive opportunities, very good business climate and good returns on investment. “As the energy capital of the African Continent, our resilience has been tested, we have been through the booms and the busts and we came out stronger. With our experience, geographical location and capacity, Nigeria is the country of now and the future”

The Group General Manager further explained that NNPC has a clear strategy for harnessing these potentials through collaboration and building robust partnerships as entrenched in the Corporation’s 12 Business Focus Areas being aggressively driven by the Leadership of the Corporation.
