Home support came the way of the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Engr. Austen Oniwon over the weekend when the traditional ruler of Okene, his home town, the Ohi of Oke Ngwe/Okene, His Royal Highness Alhaji Yakubu Yusuf, led a team of traditional Chiefs to the NNPC Towers, Abuja, to declare support for the new GMD in his quest to transform the fortunes of the Corporation.
Clad in flowing Ebira traditional regalia, the Ohi paid tribute to the President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for deeming it fit to appoint Oniwon as the GMD of NNPC in this critical stage of reforms in the oil and gas industry. He pledged the full support of the Ebira people in ensuring that the GMD succeeds in his mandate of transforming the NNPC to a reputable world class national oil company.
Welcoming the traditional ruler and his team to the NNPC Towers, Engr. Oniwon pledged to ensure that youths of Kogi State like their counterparts from other parts of the country benefit immensely from the planned construction of a Greenfield Refinery in the State.
Recently, the NNPC signed a $28 billion MoU with the Chinese National Engineering and Construction Corporation to source for contractor financing for the construction of three brand new refineries and a Petrochemicals plant. The Refineries will be sited in Kogi, Lagos and Bayelsa States.
The GMD implored the traditional rulers to mobilize the local communities to provide the conducive atmosphere in good time for the planned project, adding that youths from the area stand to benefit immensely.
