The petroleum exploration and production joint venture operated by the Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) on behalf of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and Oando has responded the needs of flood victims in the Niger Delta with provision of essential items for four states.
According to a statement from NAOC, the JV distributed food and essential goods to about 260 communities hit by recent floods in the Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and Imo States in Nigeria.
A delegation of the JV led by the General Manager of the Port Harcourt District began distribution a few days ago at the host communities of Ob/Ob Gas Plant and met with their leaders.
NAOC expressed their solidarity with the host communities reinforcing the important and effective collaborative relationship between the two parties since 1962. Delegates similarly remarked on the importance of this mutually beneficial partnership particularly over this difficult period.
The communities of the area, represented by His Royal Highness Louis Ajie Eze Iyasira (Prime Minister of Ogba Land) expressed appreciation to the JV for the timely support.
The NAOC JV shareholders are NNPC E&P Limited (NEPL), Eni’s subsidiary NAOC and Oando.
