NMDPRA Gets Kogi Govt. Award of Excellence for outstanding performance.
The Kogi State Government has given an award of excellence to the Nigeria Mainstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, (NMDPRA) for their outstanding performance in the State.
The Secretary to the Government of Kogi State Dr Mrs Folashade Arike Ayoade presented the award on behalf of the State Government to the Kogi State Coordinator of NMDPRA Engr. Ogbe Orits Godwin.
The Government commended NMDPRA for the development and supports for the oil and gas sector by ensuring that during the flood, Kogi State did not lack petroleum products.
“The Government knows that fuel is the blood line that runs the whole nation. If there is no fuel in Kogi, things will be difficult for the people including transportation of food and essential commodities”.
Responding, the Kogi State Coordinator of NMDPRA Engr. Ogbe Orits Godwin commended Governor Ododo for his remarkable achievement in the State.
He promised that the agency will not relent in ensuring that petroleum products are steadily available for the people of Kogi State.
While reminding the Government that NMDPRA has nip in the bud alleged sharp practices by some petroleum marketers in the State, Engr. Godwin admonished the general public to report any airing marketers sabotaging the efforts of the agency in the State.
The Kogi NMDPRA Coordinator, however, thanked the Executive Director, NMDPRA Engr Farouk Ahmed for his support to Lokoja field office.
According to him ” This is a Man who has given us all the needed support to succeed in Kogi State. His words of encouragement to members of staff remains a moral booster for the agency to function effectively. We will continue to put in our best in achieving the set mission and vision statement of NMDPRA in Kogi State and Nigeria in general”.
Engr. Godwin further appreciated NMDPRA Executive Director, Distribution System Storage and Retailing Infrastructure, (DSSRI) Ogbugo K. Ukoha and the North Central Coordinator of NMDPRA Abuja, Mrs Maijiddah S. Abdulkadir for their relentlessly commitment in making the agency carry out it functions diligently in Kogi State without stress.
Staffs of the Kogi state NMDPRA Lokoja also gathered to celebrate their collective efforts that yielded the award of excellence.
