The Movement for the Survival of the Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) has commended the leadership of Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) for its robust stakeholders engagement in communities where their operations cover.
At a press briefing in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, the National Secretary of MOSIEND, Amb. Winston Cotterel Amain, said the management of the pipeline surveillance company, over the years, has also shown an exceptional commitment towards community engagement; thereby boosting confidence and giving more locals reasons to protect national assets in their domain.
According to Amain, this initiative has played a pivotal role in enhancing Nigeria’s oil and gas production output; while also fostering collaboration and trust within the communities they operate.
He said Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited understands the importance of engaging local communities and stakeholders in the oil and gas sector.
He explained that, through open dialogues and outreach programmes, the company has actively sought the views and inputs of community members; ensuring that their voices are not only heard but also integrated into the decision-making processes.
He said this approach has not only strengthened relationships, but has also led to a more sustainable and productive operational environment.
According to him, “The management’s dedication to transparency and collaboration has resulted in increased efficiency and productivity within the sector.”
“By prioritizing community engagement, Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited has fostered a sense of ownership among local stakeholders, and this is crucial for long-term success in the oil and gas industry.”
“This commitment has not only resulted in an increase in Nigeria’s oil and gas production output, but should also served as a model for other organizations in the industry.”
“We recognize that the path to sustainable development in the Niger Delta requires concerted efforts from all stakeholders, and PINL’s proactive engagement strategy is a commendable step towards achieving this goal.”
“We encourage other companies in the sector to emulate this approach as it is essential for building a resilient and thriving oil and gas industry that benefits both the nation and the communities involved.”
“In conclusion, we applaud Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited for taking the lead in stakeholder and community engagement, and we look forward to seeing the continued positive impacts of these efforts on Nigeria’s oil and gas production and the well-being of the communities in the Niger Delta,” he added.
