The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) credits a robust new energy security system in the Niger Delta for a dramatic surge in national crude oil output.
Production has climbed from a historic low of 960,000 barrels per day in 2022 to an average of 1.71 million barrels per day in 2025, with a peak of 1.84 million barrels per day, NNPC announced.
Group Chief Executive Officer Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari shared the milestone at the Parliamentary Roundtable on Pipeline Security at the National Assembly in Abuja on Wednesday, April 8.
Speaking on the success of the security arrangement, Ojulari explained that it was not accidental, and that it involved an “integrated energy security model that combines legislative and executive policy alignment, actionable intelligence, kinetic deployment capabilities, regulatory oversight, industry cooperation, and community‑embedded surveillance mechanisms”.
Ojulari, according to a press release signed by Andy Odeh, Chief Corporate Communications Officer ofNNPC Ltd, said the resurgence of production due to the effective tackling of the twin menace of oil theft and pervasive pipeline sabotage has led to the restoration of investors’ confidence in the nation’s oil and gas sector.
In his welcome address, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, represented by Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, called for collaboration among agencies and stakeholders in resolving all challenges impeding production growth.
On his part, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who was represented by the Leader of the House, Hon. (Prof.) Julius Ihonvbere, urged the forum to evaluate the progress made so far with a view to ensuring fairness and equity.
The Parliamentary Roundtable on the State of Pipelines Security was convened by the Joint Senate and House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources. It had in attendance the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, National Security Adviser, Minister of Defence, and representatives of oil industry regulatory agencies.
The Roundtable also featured presentations by the Chief of Defence Staff, Inspector General of Police, Director General of the Department of State Services, Commandant General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, and private security companies.
