NNPCL (Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited) has struggled with bureaucratic inefficiencies, financial constraints, outdated infrastructure, and regulatory challenges, which have hampered its ability to manage and expand its refining operations effectively. These issues have led to a reliance on private sector investments, such as those from Aliko Dangote’s refinery project, to address critical gaps in refining capacity and sector efficiency. Private investments bring much-needed capital, technological advancements, and operational efficiency, helping to meet domestic refining needs and improve overall sector performance. However, this reliance on private entities also highlights the need for significant reforms within NNPCL. For sustainable growth and improved efficiency, Nigeria’s oil sector must balance public and private sector contributions while addressing the internal challenges faced by state-owned enterprises. khalifah Ahmed

Shell has agreed to sell its onshore business in Nigeria's Niger Delta for $2.4 billion, aiming to reduce exposure amid environmental concerns and streamline operations. The move follows years of complaints about oil spills impacting the region. Shell plans to focus future investments in Nigeria on deepwater and integrated gas projects. Oil spills devastated extensive mangrove forests, wiping out fish and shellfish in rivers, and leaving Bille's fishing community without sustenance or income. Shell's decision to sell its onshore subsidiary comes after prolonged challenges, including oil spills from theft, sabotage, and operational issues. These incidents have led to costly repairs and legal battles, prompting the company to move forward with the anticipated sale. Shell received a poor rating for carbon management and reporting due to fossil fuel investments, misleading advertisements implying eco-friendliness, and accountability for multiple oil spills. Prioritizing customer satisfaction is crucial for building trust, loyalty, and a positive reputation, ultimately contributing to the success and sustainability of a business. You can't fool customers for a long time. Your marketing strategy should prioritize your customers otherwise you need to leave the market. In order to sustain you need to grow surrounding. It may be infrastructure, people's mindset or culture. You can't grow alone. #customerexperience #changeforthebetter #environmentalsustainability #shell #growth #market
