The NNPC Limited is expected to be managed as a private energy enterprise unlike the former corruption-ridden government organisation.
The unveiling took place at the presidential banquet hall in Abuja.

“NNPC Limited now will operate as a commercial oil company with over 200 million shareholders with integrity and excellence.”
