Newly Appointed NNPC Head After Kyari Shares How a Contracted Staff Drowned and DiedSource: FacebookIn the early days of my career, I worked for a service company as a commissioning engineer, and on one occasion I had to stay for six weeks offshore on my first trip. While I enjoyed the learning experience as a young engineer, it was a very difficult experience working in a remote location with limited options to dash home to be with family and friends. The other one that readily comes to mind was when a very experienced staff of a contractor working for me got drowned during demobilisation after completing an eight-week survey work in the swamp in Rivers State. It was difficult supporting the crew to visit his wife and children, and a stark reminder of why safety is number one priority for oil exploration and production operations.Tinubu sacks NNPC board for operational reformsNewly Appointed NNPC Head After Kyari Shares How a Contracted Staff Drowned and DiedSource: FacebookFocus on efficiency and safetyTinubu sacks NNPC Boss Mele Kyari
