…Says NNPC Will Remain Transparent, Accountable to Nigerians<\/p>\n

In yet another recognition of his efforts since becoming the GMD\/CEO of the NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari has been honoured with the “The Sun Man of The Year Award”, the biggest recognition by The Sun Publishing Comapany Ltd, publishers of The Sun Newspaper titles.
\n\"\"
\nKyari received the award in a ceremony attended by eminent Nigerians at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos on Saturday. They include the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ambassador Babagana Kingibe; Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu; Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki; Former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu; captains of industries and seasoned public servants.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the award, the Managing Director\/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun Publishing Newspapers Ltd, Mr. Onuoha Ukeh said Mr. Mele Kyari was honoured for his doggedness and resilience in the way he managed the operations of the NNPC during the COVID-19 pandemic last year, which saw the economies of many countries across the word struggling for survival.
\n\"\"
\nExplaining further, Ukeh said: “Take Mele Kyari and dissect. In addition to the record breaking N287bn profits posted for\u00a02020, the best since inception 44 years, the NNPC which he heads published the Audited Financial Statements (AFS). It was trailblazing and a whiff of good fortune in a beleaguered entity and time.”<\/p>\n

In his response, the GMD\/CEO NNPC stated that the NNPC remains ever committed to conducting its operations with transparency and accountability.
\n\"\"
\nHe attributed the successes recorded by the Management Team of the NNPC to the freehand and support accorded him by Mr. President who has never interfered in the affairs of the NNPC.<\/p>
