From Almajiri pupil to NNPC CEO: Kyari reflects on journey at 60


The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, has reflected on his journey from being an Almajiri school pupil to leading Africa’s largest energy company.

He also pledged to serve the nation with greater conviction and dedication.

Kyari said this in a post on social media to celebrate his 60th birthday, the retirement age for most public agency heads, on Wednesday.

Kyari, born January 8, 1965, was appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in July 2019.

He is a veteran in the oil industry, having worked at the NNPC for the last 32 years.

The post read, “Allah, by his grace, spared my life to this exceptional day, making it my 60th year from birth, even much earlier on the Hijri calendar.

“I am profoundly grateful to my country for allowing me to grow from an Almajiri (Tsangaya) school pupil to become the CEO of Africa’s largest energy company.

“Even more particular, I deeply appreciate the exceptional privilege given to me by Presidents Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Ahmed Tinubu to serve as the last GMD of the NNPC and the pioneer CEO of the NNPC Ltd.”

Reflecting on his journey, Kyari described his life as one filled with challenges and triumphs, which he attributed to divine grace.

He also sought forgiveness from those he might have unintentionally or unavoidably offended.

He added, “Reflecting backwards alone can’t account for the profoundly eventful life I spent to this date, walking through good and bad times, travails and triumphs, pains and happiness, fails and successes and many more that only the sufficiency of Allah will explain.

“At this milestone, I feel the obligation to serve with even greater conviction and with the elevated expectation of eternal recompense so deeply pleasing.

“I am hugely indebted to my family for being nearly absent for most of my later years serving our nation and the common good.

“My deep appreciation to my family, friends and associates, my colleagues at work and my teachers (western and of Almajiri extractions), and many unmentioned people who account for many of my accomplishments, unconditional support and my overall well-being.

“This is a turning point, and I seek forgiveness from anyone I might have hurt unintentionally or unavoidably.”

After you chop NNPCL finish abi 🤒

So una know say almajiri lifestyle no be life,you accept that you are lucky to be liberated or what does his post mean.he is saying indirectly that it is almost impossible for an almajiri to be where he is today

Oga getat!

One Satan go also seek forgiveness...people should learn how to do good all the time

My Goodness!

Y

By clocking 60 years he statutorily retires from the system. No amount of apology is acceptable in keeping him perpetually in that position. He's the only GMD of NNPC that has spent over 5 years in position.

Very crafty and sleeky manipulator. What he does is to bribe Tinubu cabals so that he remains as the boss of NNPCL. Nigeria need fresh air in the oil sector, so he must retire now!

Forgiveness for what.

Imagine forced to forgive someone who isn't ready for penance, Nigeria is a twisted nation.

OK




Princess Faith Chukwu

Over

Hahaha Hahaha....I like the format ...still enough money for years and seek forgiveness later from helpless masses who can't do u anything

Happy birthday to him we shall all come out victorious

Happy birthday sir.

Give us back the whole stolen and wuruwuru money back, them we will take u seriously

5k to 10 people. Tell me what 5k can do for you today

What a mockery to millions of Nigerians. Under your eyes Nigerians suffered at the expense of your foolishness. You guys received salaries from a non functioning organization. Ogun kill all of una and una generations to come.

Do the right things. Don't intentionally do the wrong things with the hope of telling people "I am sorry".

From Almajiri to NNPC CEO. Truly a remarkable feat. It is expected that people like him have the true empathy and be the best representation of the poor when they get to the decision making seat but unfortunately, they always forget and see the less privileged as lazy. Thinking about only themselves and wealth they cannot even exhaust in one generation.

Is it truly human greed that became that strong?

Can humans really not be merciful to one another?

You know what you did

Products of the status quo that ruined Nigeria, bring back merits and see Nigeria we all dreamed of. As long as the status quo remains Nigeria will never progress

Wetin u do us wey we go forgive you?

E-BOLA Tinubu should just collapse and die

Even if we forgive you


Can you forgive yourself

the shallow minded ones will start referencing him as a perfect example of how being an almajiri doesn't limit or determine how far you can go in life, as a fellow muslim i don't believe that tha bull crap because he is just a freak accident and an odd one out of millions that are currently roaming the streets scavenging for food anywhere and everywhere, So if almajiri is such a beautiful idea why didn't him Kyari and all the northern elites return their own children to the same street as almajiris

Screw you niggah

Go and steal yet more.

TOTAL NONSENSE

ok
