The Group Managing Director (GMD),
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr Maikanti Baru,
yesterday assured that the era of fuel scarcity is gone for
good.
Receiving the Man of the Year Award from Nigeria NewsDirect
newspaper, the NNPC GMD said that the corporation had learnt a
great lesson during the recent fuel scarcity in the country.
“We have actualized the lessons learnt, part of which is to
ensure that at any point in time, there should be sufficient
products available for distribution across the country.
“Most of our PPMC depots in Ejigbo, Mosinmi, Ibadan and other
parts of the nation have sufficient product for distribution
now.
‘NNPC is discussing with security operatives to stop smuggling
of petrol products across our borders.
“We are working alongside with them to ensure safety of our
pipelines because we still have some areas in which vandals still
disrupt our pipelines,” he said.
Baru said he dedicated the Man of the Year award to all staff of
the corporation.
Also speaking, Dr Diran Fawibe, Chairman, International Energy
Services, urged NNPC to ensure that the nation’s refineries worked
to its full capacity.
According to Fawibe, the oil and gas sector is a major sustainer
of the nation’s economy.
Earlier in his welcome address, Dr Samuel Ibiyemi, Publisher,
Nigeria NewsDirect, said that the award was in recognition of the
good work of distinguished Nigerians to the country’s growth.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), others that
received awards include the Minister of Power, Works and Housing,
Mr Raji Fashola and CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele.
