The Honourable minister of state for petroleum resources (Oil) senator Heineken Lokpobiri, says he convened a stakeholders forum to further deepen growth and consolidate on the achievements attained in the oil sector so far.
The minister made this known in a statement he signed and made available to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja, FCT.
Senator Lokpobiri stated that “In consolidation of the achievements recorded in our petroleum sector last year, we are starting this year by deepening synergies with every stakeholder and player across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. To this end, I convened the Petroleum Industry Stakeholders Forum (PISF) to engage in critical discussions aimed at charting a collaborative course for driving sustainable growth within the industry.
“At the forum, I emphasized the transformative measures the industry has experienced under the #RenewedHope administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. These measures have catalyzed significant growth and economic stability for the nation, fostering an enabling environment for innovation and investment.
“However, these successes would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of stakeholders whose collaborative efforts have been instrumental in achieving these milestones. It is on this foundation of collective effort that I proposed enhanced collaboration across all sectors – policy formulation, operational strategies, and key industry projections – eschewing isolated approaches.”
Lokpobiri further noted that “by working together, we can simplify push Mr. President’s vision of an autonomous, self-sustaining petroleum sector while ensuring the industry continues to flourish.”
