NNPC Committed To Economic Growth Through Gas Value Chain – GMD

The Group Managing
Director (GMD) of NNPC, Mr Andrew Yakubu, has  said the corporation was committed to the nation’s economic growth through gas value chain.
Yakubu made the disclosure at the opening ceremony of batches 073 to 079 Capacity Building Programme for NNPC chief officers in Abuja, last Thursday
The programme is tagged “Chief Officers Management Development Programme’’ (COMDP).
The NNPC boss said the corporation was determined to deliver commercial value to the Federal Government Gas Revolution Agenda “in order to ensure Efficient Gas–to-Power, Gas-to-Industry and Sufficient Gas for Domestic Consumption.’’
He said the NNPC was saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the abundant gas value chain in the country was maximally explored.
He added that the corporation would do everything possible to make the Gas Revolution Agenda successful in every ramification.
He then challenged participants of the capacity building programme to come up with creative ways of dealing with the target of fully monetising the gas resource endowment of the nation.
He said “this remains a crucial deliverable of the Federal Government’s Gas Revolution Agenda.”
The managing director said that the management was fully committed to supporting the capacity development programme and would continue to provide all resources required to sustain its growth.
Prof. Pat Utomi of the Lagos Business School in a lecture delivered at the occasion explained that the NNPC was required to deliver the mandate of the gas-to-power strategy execution and effectiveness.
