The newly appointed Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Austen Olusegun Oniwon formally assumed duty of office last week taking over from his predecessor Mallam Shehu Ladan.
The new helmsman on assumption of office promised to use his wealth of experience to impact positively on the oil and gas industry and that he will ensure that prompt and efficient distribution and supply of petroleum products in all parts of the country is vigorously pursued.
Oniwon also assured that he was prepared to turn around the fortunes of the corporation for good and that he will ensure that Nigerians begin to reap the benefit of being an oil producing state.
The new NNPC boss noted that during Ladan’s short time stay in office there has been some specific achievement which are worthy of note, adding that it is not how long one stays in office but how well he impacts on the organization.
Oniwon listed the feats that were achieved under Ladan as cementing the relationship between the NNPC and the National Assembly and the international oil companies. He also commended the former GMD for building a strong relationship between NNPC management and the worker’s union.
Responding in his remarks, the outgoing GMD thanked the management and workers of the organization for their cooperation and urged them to work with the new man just as they have worked with him.
