The Group Managing Di
rector, Nigerian National Petroleum  Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Emmanuel Kachikwu has promised that his administration would ensure that all the refineries of the corporation are run efficiently and profitably to meet the energy needs of the nation.
Speaking at an interactive media session with top management of the corporation in Abuja Friday, the GMD said efforts were on top  gear to create a conducive working environment for members of staff.
It noted that for NNPC to transform like  its peers in other climes, the moral of the work force must  be high  and urged members of staff to act as change agents.
He said in the next 60 days some of the strategic targets would be translated into concrete milestones to the appreciation of Nigerians and impored the management to team  up with him to close the skills gap and turn the fortunes of  the NNPC around.
He particularly remarked that sectionalism, tribalism and any form of non-transparent transactions must be completely stamped out of the NNPC.
The Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr Ibe Kachikwu, has commiserated with victims of the helicopter crash at Oworosonki, Lagos, on Wednesday.
A statement by NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr Ohi Alegbe, in Abuja on Thursday said the GMD was touched by the sad news of the crash of the helicopter that was ferrying oil workers from an oil installation offshore.
“This is particularly sad for me because it involves workers in the oil industry who were returning home to their families and friends after a period of hard work.
“My heart goes to the victims of the crash and their families. It is my prayer that God should give the departed sweet repose.
“Their families the fortitude and grace to bear the loss, and the lucky survivors speedy recovery,“ it stated.
