Top players in the Nigerian maritime, oil and gas sectors converged on Port Harcourt, Rivers state last Friday to celebrate one year of successful operations of MV Osayame;  an indigenous oil service boat owned by Starzs Investment Company Limited.

Top players in the Nigerian maritime, oil and gas sectors converged on Port Harcourt, Rivers state last Friday to celebrate one year of successful operations of MV Osayame;  an indigenous oil service boat owned by Starzs Investment Company Limited.
Kick- starting the flood gate  of encomiums, General Manager, National Petroleum Investments Management Services  (NAPIMS), Mr Morrison Fiddi described the successful completion of one year operation of  supply ship MV Osayame with zero down time and zero loss time injury (LTI) as a testimony that Nigeria-owned businesses can deliver if given the opportunity.
Morrison, who spoke at the anniversary celebrations which held at  the expansive Starzs Shipyard in Port Harcourt through an official of NAPIMS,  Engr Lamim Ibrahim, described the feat achieved by the purpose-built vessel as a rare feat in the oil and gas  industry worldwide, stressing that the vessel owner, Starzs Investments Co Ltd,  has shown that “by this singular act of investing in vessels, it will prove to the  international oil companies that Nigerians have all it takes to participate in the various activities in the oil and gas industry”.
According to him, NAPIMS is ready and willing to support any indigenous company
that demonstrates commitment to invest in growing local content in the maritime industry.
Speaking earlier, the Executive Secretary, Nigerian Content Development and
Monitoring Board (NCDMB), Engr Ernest Nwapa applauded Total Exploration and
Production Company for giving Starzs Investments the opportunity to prove their
capacity to deliver long before the Cabotage regime was signed into law.
Nwapa, who was represented by Engr Taiwo Elegba said Total Exploration and
Production “demonstrated courageous commitment to the pursuit of national
aspirations”, noting that the development was a fulfillment for NCDMD’s quest
for transformation of the oil and gas industry in order to create job opportunities for Nigerians.
He however expressed regrets that some oil companies operating in Nigeria still
look for unacceptable reasons to import certain goods and services from abroad.

“Every day, the board is inundated with excuses to allow them import goods and
services from abroad. The board will continue to drive collaborative efforts to
demonstrate that we must bring Nigerian jobs back home. We cannot employ our
youths by exporting our jobs to other economies. We cannot attract investments
to build facilities to grow national productivity if we do not patronize local
yards and insist on domiciling work. We must insist on indigenous ownership of
our floating assets to ensure that on a sustainable basis, there is sufficient capacity to guarantee our sovereign interests as an independent nation”.
Speaking in similar vein, the Director General, NIMASA, Mr Patrick Akpobolokemi, commended the chief executive of Starzs Investments, Mr Greg Ogbeifun for creating employment opportunities for Nigerians, urging other maritime players to take a cue from Starzs by exploiting the vast potentials in Nigeria’s maritime industry.

Expressing satisfaction with the relationship between Total E&P and Starzs
Investments, the Deputy Managing Director, Port Harcourt District of Total, Mr
Denis Berthelot assured that the contract with Starzs Investments will be extended and expanded following satisfactory performance of MV Osayame in offering high level technical and logistics support to Total Exploration and Production off-shore.
The high-point of the ceremony was the presentation of different categories of
gifts to the crew of MV Osayame by the chairman of Starzs Investments Co Ltd, Mr Greg Ogbeifun in appreciation of their commitment.
The 22 crew members received gifts ranging from home theater systems, refrigerators, deep freezers, LCD TVs.  The Captain, Charles Orighoye and the Chief Engineer, Francis Oboh each received keys to brand new cars to their amazement.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
