 The new Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited was unveiled by President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retired) on Tuesday in Abuja.

The Corporate Affairs Commission completed the new company's establishment in September 2021.

The following list is ten fascinating details regarding the new NNPC Ltd.
