OilServ Limited says it is contributing meaningfully to Nigeria’s transition to cleaner fuel.
Consequently, the company has expressed its support to the commissioning of the expansion of the AHL Gas Processing Plant, the ANOH Gas Processing Plant, and the 23.3kilometre ANOH to Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben(OB3) Custody Transfer Metering Station Gas Pipeline Projects, a move which the company said would significantly impact positively on the nation’s economy.
The Managing Director, Oilserv Engineering Limited, Nnanna Anyanwu, stated this while speaking at the commissioning of the Assa Gas Process Treatment facility in Ohaji/Egbema LGA of Imo State, recently.
Anyanwu said the completion of the Assa Process Treatment Facility to OB3 CTMS works and the 36″x 23.3km pipeline has significantly demonstrated Oilserv’s dedication to meeting project timelines, schedule, safety, quality, and excellence.
“The project will turn around the Nigerian economy. We have increased our ability to deliver on infrastructure, we have gained the skills, but most importantly, we have improved our competitiveness globally. Beyond that, is the value we then bring for our clients.
“So by the time you think about this pipeline, how its going to unlock gas, how its going to contribute to Nigeria’s decade of gas, how its to ensure that going forward, Nigeria can transition to cleaner fuel, ultimately you see that it’s progress for the nation”, Anyanwu said.
Also at the event, the Traditional Ruler of Assa Autonomous Community in Ohaji, Ohaji/Egbema LGA of Imo State, HRH Eze Emmanuel Assor, said the project was an economic boost to the area and the nation, saying it would add value to the economy of the country.
“It is a thing of joy that we have this. It will create job opportunities for our people and we pray that they will give us that concessional treatment as people from this area who have donated a lot. Our people are predominately farmers who have now lost their farmland to the establishment of this project.
“We are hopeful that it will help in the development of this area as we are sure that other investors will come to invest in the area. As they see the gas here, a huge lot of people will come here to invest”, Assor said.
The Royal Father appealed to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to accord the community very serious development, especially in infrastructural amenities.
“We appreciate NNPCL’s decision to site the project here. Our people are happy, but we expect NNPC to reciprocate, it is not very easy to make this kind of sacrifice. Our people have made this sacrifice, this sacrifice has to yield results to the community.
