The Federal Government has reiterated it’s resolve to improve investments in the oil and gas sector.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Heineken Lokpobiri gave the assurance as he toured the TotalEnergies’ offshore fields of Ofon and Egina as part of a one-day familiarisation visit.
In his remarks at the end of the tour, Lokpobiri lauded the company for being an example of what the Federal Government expects from International Oil Companies.
The minister, however, noted that the government was not oblivious to the problems of the International Oil Companies (IOCs).
The visit was intended to inform the minister of TotalEnergies’ investment plans, ongoing projects and challenges faced by the company in the areas of capex and community relations.
