Wike tells AGIP to fix roads to its headquarters

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has called on the management of Nigerian Agip Oil Company, NAOC, to reconstruct the road leading to its administrative headquarters at Mgboshimini in Obio/ Akpor Local Government Area of the state as a corporate project for its host company.

Wike stated this when he embarked  on  a  facility  tour to the administrative headquarters  of  NAOC.

  The governor said the condition  of  the  road has giving the company  a negative  image and further wondered why the major oil company  would allow the road to its administrative headquarters to deteriorate to that level.

“I commend  the Nigerian Agip Oil Company  for its numerous corporate  projects  across the state. But the state of this road to the administrative headquarters of  the company gives the company  a negative image.

“I urge the company to reconstruct  this road.  I also call on the company to ensure that they provide electricity  to the host community  of its administrative  headquarters as it has done elsewhere”.

Wike however, assured the management  of  the company  that his administration  will  always collaborate  with  them on development projects and programmes  that  will benefit  the people.

He said the state government will demolish all shanties that harbor criminals  around the  administrative  headquarters NAOC.

He further charged leaders of the two communities  that host shanties near the company  to settle their land dispute, otherwise  the state government will  acquire  the land and  take necessary action.

 Group Managing Director of NAOC,  Mr. Marco Rotondi while speaking noted
that the company  has been  involved  in series of corporate  social projects in its host communities.

He said that the areas of focus have been agriculture, health, education and skills acquisition.
