Baru Lists Achievements as NNPC GMD
…Says Engineering “Prepared Me for Life and Living”

The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, on Thursday enumerated landmark progress recorded in the last three years under his watch as helmsman of Nigeria’s national oil corporation.

Speaking at his investiture as Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Engineering (NAE) held at the University of Lagos, Baru attributed the successes to his engineering background, a discipline, which according to him, wholesomely prepared him for the great task ahead.

He described engineering as a branch of study which tasks the brains and whets one’s ability for logical thinking and problem-solving thus challenging the creative instinct to solve existential problems and relieve humanity of drudgery.

The NNPC boss listed some of the achievements recorded under his watch to include: maintaining production levels well above 2million barrels per day; increasing crude oil production by NNPC flagship Upstream Company, Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC); ensuring a boost in gas production to the extent that today, NNPC is the largest supplier of gas to power; and saving enormous financial resources through Direct Sale Direct Purchase (DSDP) scheme adopted for products import.

Others include: ridding government of huge financial commitments on cash-call commitment by developing workable alternative funding arrangements; devising sustainable teamwork between the Oil and Gas Industry and the numerous host communities in the Niger Delta to curb security challenges that had dipped crude oil production some years back; and instituting a regime of transparent contracting/bidding processes in all major projects.

His management, according to him, also reduced cost of crude oil production per barrel in the country from $27 to $22; explored opportunities in frontier basins to boost Nigeria’s reserves base and production; sustained petroleum products supply nationwide; and kick-started the current holistic rehabilitation of the nation’s four refineries to boost capacity utilization.

Fielding questions on his recent retirement from the services of the NNPC with effect from July 7, 2019, the GMD expressed gratitude to God for seeing him through a glorious career at the Corporation, noting that even after retirement he was willing to do more if called upon to serve the country.

Also inducted into the prestigious Nigerian Academy of Engineering Fellowship were 13 other distinguished engineering professionals including Engr. Suleiman Hassan Adamu, FNSE, immediate past Minister of Water Resources; Engr. Siky Aliyu, former Managing Director of the National Engineering and Technical Company (NETCO); Engr. Samuel Nnaemeka Anyakora, first Nigerian Director of Tyre Manufacturing (1988 – 1998) at Dunlop Nigeria Plc; and Engr. Onochie Azubike Anyaoku, who retired from the Corporation as Group Executive Director, Refineries among others.

Earlier in his welcome address, President of the NAE, Prof. Fola Lasisi, FNSE, charged the new inductees to rally round stakeholders in the engineering trade to promote the ideals of the profession in the larger interest of the society.
