Health, Environmental Safety Critical To Nigeria’s Oil & Gas Sector- Kyari

The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, has stated that promoting Health, Safety and Environmental practices is a critical determinant of business performance success across the oil and gas industry.

The GMD, disclosed this at the 2021 NLNG Health Safety and Environment (HSE) Day, organised by Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG).

Representing the GMD, the Group General Manager, LNG Investment Management Services (LIMS), Nike Kolawole, pledged the Corporation’s continued support in ensuring that NLNG placed more emphasis on HSE.

According to him, the rapid growth of NLNG from the base project (Trains 1 and 2) to six trains was unprecedented and commended the company for its ability to adapt and effectively manage changes within the period.

He said, “No matter the figures, indices or values recorded in production, sales, profit or revenue, a dismal HSE performance would lead to obliteration of long built achievement.

“Central to the world-class excellent record is the company’s unprecedented HSE culture, placing priority on safety performance ahead of other performance indices. Your consistent emphasis on human performance principles through Goal Zero deserves applauds”, he said.

In his remarks, the outgoing Managing Director of NLNG, Tony Attah, said the focus of this year’s HSE Day was on identifying the weak and dark corners for continuous improvement on the organization’s HSE policy.
