 The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Engineer Austen Oniwon says the Warri Refinery and Petrochemical Company (WRPC) is the best performing company among the three refineries in the country.
The GMD made the remarks at the graduation ceremony of Chief Officers Management Development Programme (COMDP) in Abuja.
He said WRPC performed creditably well above the other two refineries having operated under the same conditions during the period under review.
According to the GMD, performing Strategic Business Units (SBU’s) or Corporate Strategic Units (CSU’s) will henceforth be recognized and rewarded as way to encourage the staff to do more.
The GMD urged the staff and management of the WRPC to maintain a high level of efficiency in its operations and for other SBU’s and CSU’s to emulate.
He said the WRPC would soon under-go full rehabilitation to operate at 90 per cent capacity above its current performance of 60 per cent.
"We are beginning to record improvement in the performance of the refineries and more attention would now be focused on the refineries to operate based on international standard", the GMD noted.
"We have President and Honourable Minister of Petroleum Resources Dr. Diezani Allison-Madueke who both supports the NNPC and therefore we cannot afford to fail, we must succeed", Engineer Oniwon stated.
Engineer Oniwon implored the graduates to remain focus and move the NNPC to great height.
Earlier, the Group General Manager, Human resources, Chris Osarumwense enjoined the graduates to utilize skills acquired during the programme to impact positively on NNPC’s activities.
