The United States Government has pledged its readiness to work with the new management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in achieving the Federal Government’s reform agenda in the oil and gas industry.
Speaking during a courtesy call on the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, at the corporation’s headquarter in Abuja, Thursday, the U. S Ambassador to Nigeria, Amb. James Entwistle, said his country is willing to provide all necessary support to the new NNPC management to realize its goals and objectives.
The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, made this known in a statement on Thursday.
Entwistle noted that although the job of the GMD of NNPC is about the most challenging job in Nigeria, the U.S is convinced that Dr. Kachikwu has the skills, training and requisite experience to lead the oil and gas industry in Nigeria towards the path of growth and sustainable development.
This is a strange headline. To say they “Okay” it is like telling us that we would have gone back to the drawing board if they didn’t. The language should have been that they salut or hail it, not that they “Okay” it. Nobody needs any country’s “Okay” to carry out reforms.
