Governor Caleb Mutfwang has congratulated NNPCL chief Mele Kyari on his 60th birthday.

Mr Mutfwang, in a statement on Tuesday, described Mr Kyari as an exceptional leader whose vision and foresight had significantly reshaped the NNPCL and positioned it as a catalyst for national development.

“His relentless effort in addressing critical national challenges and fostering enduring peace, unity and cohesion in the country is quite commendable.

“Kyari’s pragmatic leadership style has ushered in remarkable milestones, including the resuscitation of two refineries, increased domestic natural gas consumption and boosting oil production in the country,” said the governor.

According to Mr Mutfwang, these achievements have contributed immensely to Nigeria’s economic stability and growth.

“On behalf of the government and people of Plateau, I pray for renewed strength, good health and divine wisdom for Kyari as he continues to undertake his noble tasks in service to the nation,” Mr Mutfwang added.

The Plateau governor, who also lauded the NNPC boss for his wisdom, resilience and unwavering dedication to excellence, particularly in tackling complex national issues, prayed for long life and prosperity for him.
