President Goodluck Jonathan Has Transformed The Oil And Gas Sector – PPMC Boss
President Goodluck Jonathan has been commended for transforming the nation’s oil and gas sector through innovative initiatives and policies.
This commendation was handed down by the Managing Director, Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC), Mr. Haruna Mommoh in an interview with journalists on Sunday in Abuja.
According to Mommoh, the president had, through the Minister of Petroleum Resources, reformed the energy sector in terms of provision of new infrastructure as well as policies and programmes such as the local content initiative.
Speaking further, he said that the new gas field development and the pending Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) among others are some of the key initiatives of the federal government to transform the sector.
He pledged the commitment of the petroleum sector under the minister of petroleum resources to continuous transformation of the energy sector to meet the needs and aspirations of Nigerians.
“When we came on board, more than two thirds of the petroleum depots were out of operation but as I am talking to you today, we have put more than two thirds of the depots back into operation.
“We rehabilitated them and made them functional and this has enhanced the capacity of the administration to make petroleum products available nationwide.
“I am happy to tell you that we are providing petroleum products to Nigerians regularly and without interruption.
“We have not had fuel supply crisis because of the upgrade of depot infrastructures and unbending determination of the administration to avoid any hardships fuel scarcity might cause Nigerians,” he said.
According to him, regular availability of petroleum products was a major achievement of the administration, adding that the few cases of scarcity were always due to labour industrial action.
He assured Nigerians that the company is committed to the task of making petroleum products available during the Yuletide.
