Dr Kachikwu told petroleum industry experts at the Oloibiri Lecture Series and Energy Forum organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, that an overhaul of the foremost government oil firm, NNPC was imminent, to ensure the return of profitability and stability in the sector.

He said that the move, which would be a major overhaul of the system, would reposition the corporation to bring in huge profits which has been impossible to achieve in the past 15 years.
