As the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN), celebrate 30 years of its existence, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil) Senator Heineken Lokpobiri has charged members to look beyond the nation’s boundaries leveraging their experience and competence to expand their impact globally.
He stated this in a statement he signed and circulated to the media.
According to the Minister “Our drive for indigenous players in the oil sector has proven immensely productive, drawing the attention of other nations eager to learn from our model.
“This system has been a cornerstone of our sector’s success, showcasing the strength of local expertise in driving growth and innovation.
“It was on this note that I congratulated the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN), a statutory member of the NCDMB Governing Board, as I joined them to celebrate their 30th anniversary.”
Senator Lokpobiri further noted that he charged PETAN to view “this milestone not as a destination but as the beginning of a greater journey, urging them to aim beyond national boundaries, leveraging their experience and competence to expand their impact globally.
“While the world may be shifting towards energy transition, fossil fuels remain indispensable, as such, attracting investments to maximize our resources and generate prosperity is paramount. Therefore, I called on PETAN to sustain its partnership with the Federal Government to achieve this shared goal.”
