Image of NNPC CEO Bayo Ojulari

Ojulari reported to the office at about 9:35 am earlier today. A top security source confirmed to newsmen that Ojulari was currently engaging with his usual official duties.

The source said that NNPC staff had been asked via internal memo to disregard news of Ojulari’s resignation circulating on social media.

Recall that the presidency yesterday also cleared the air on the status of Ojulari, confirming he remains the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL.

Reports had claimed that EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede and DSS Director-General Adeola Ajayi supervised the said operation on Friday night without presidential approval. However, the anti-graft agency has described the claims as “ridiculous and mischievous,” urging the public to disregard them.

Ojulari is currently facing corruption allegations linked to a $21 million scandal. A coalition of civil society groups has launched a protest across key national institutions, demanding his arrest and prosecution.
