NAOC Boosts Power Supply In ONELGA
In a bid to promote
commercial activities of small and medium scale enterprises in its host communities, the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) has inaugurated a 500 KVA CAT generator in Isiukwa Community and Market stalls in Idu-Osobile in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The Tide reports that the generator was backed up with a rebuilt generator house, a rehabilitated low voltage line and the installation of two transformers in Isiukwa.
While in Idu-Osobile, the market was made up of five blocks of lock-up stalls, four blocks of open stalls, toilet and concrete flooring.
Speaking at the event, the NAOC General Manager, District, Paolo Carnevals represented by the Public Relations, Communication and Government Liaison Manager, Sir Dan Onyeaghola said that the generator will boost the activities of small and medium scale enterprise, encourage artisans and also promote self-employment.
The importance of the market, he continued, was predicated on the fact that the market creates wealth, therefore, the need to provide a primary source of income for the people as well as promote economic and commercial activities.
He urged the communities to protest their respective projects and maintain the existing peace and enablement for business to thrive.
In response, the Isiukwa Community Development Committee (CDC) Secretary, Ofuanye Daniel, commended the company for the gesture and demanded for a new memorandum of understanding to be negotiated, employment of youths in the area and construction of Akiri-Odugiri access road.
Similarly, the Ochi Oha of Idu-Osobile Community, Eze Izidor Jacob Ikeagwu, lauded the efforts of NAOC in providing basic amenities to the people of the area and appealed that water should be provided in the market, more youth employment, skills acquisition, new M.O.U post primary and post graduate overseas scholarships for the people.
He assured that peaceful co-existence and cordial relationship between the community and the company would be maintained, stressing that without peace, no meaningful, development would be attracted to the community.

Dangote Refinery Resumes Gantry Self-Collection Sales, Tuesday
This is revealed in an email communication from the Group Commercial Operations Department of the company, and obtained by Newsmen, at the Weekend.
The company explained that while gantry access is being reinstated, the free delivery service remains operational, with marketers encouraged to continue registering their outlets for direct supply at no additional cost.
The statement said “in reference to the earlier email communication on the suspension of the PMS self-collection gantry sales, please note that we will be resuming the self-collection gantry sales on the 23rd of September, 2025”.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery also apologised to its partners for any inconvenience the suspension may have caused, while assuring stakeholders of its commitment to improving efficiency and ensuring seamless supply.
“Meanwhile, please be informed that we are aggressively delivering on the free delivery scheme, and it is still open for registration. We encourage you to register your stations and pay for the product to be delivered directly to you for free. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” it added.
It would be recalled that in September 18, 2025, Dangote refinery had suspended gantry-based self-collection of petroleum products at its depot. The move was designed to accelerate the adoption of its Free Delivery Scheme, which guarantees direct shipments of petroleum products to registered retail outlets across Nigeria.
The refinery stressed that the earlier decision was an operational adjustment aimed at streamlining efficiency in the downstream supply chain.
