*** says company has
eliminated poverty in region
*** accuses other oil
companies of playing games with development of Niger Delta
THE Niger Delta Indigenous Movement for Radical Change
(NDIMRC), Tuesday hailed Nigeria Agip Oil Company Limited ( NAOC) for the development of the Niger Delta Region and
implored other oil companies it accused of playing games with development of
the Region to emulate the company.
In a press statement signed by its President, Nelly Emma,
Secretary, John Sailor and Public Relations Office (PRO) Stanley Mukoro, the
group commended the Managing Director for making the impact of the Company felt
in its area of operations in the Region.
According to the group, the Nigerian Agip Oil Company has
won it's way to the hearts of the people of the Region, saying that the
Company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was working wonders in the oil
rich Niger Delta Region.
" We want to commend the Managing Director of Nigerian
Agip Oil Company Limited, Mr Massimo Insulla for his managerial skills. The
Company has been able to eliminate poverty from the Niger Delta Region through
its laudable Developmental and
Empowerment Programmes. Jobs have been created for our army of
unemployed youths by the Company. We have been watching the activities of the
Company closely and we are impressed with its Managing Director for bringing
Development, Employment and Empowerment to the
oil rich Niger Delta Region", the group said.
The group added that;"The management of the Company is
very sensitive to the plight of our people in the Region. The Corporate Social
Responsibility of the Company is real. Other oil companies are playing games
with the development of the Region. Agip has shown that it is possible to
eliminate poverty and insecurity from the Region. No oil Company can beat the
records of Agip. We want these other multinational oil companies playing politics with the development and Empowerment
of our people to emulate the good example of Agip".
The oil monitoring group said that"Today, our people are having sense
of belonging as a result of the Corporate Social Responsibility of Agip. Our
people no longer feel neglected as they are being carried along by the Company.
If other multinational oil companies can do what Agip is doing, the whole of
the Region will be massively transformed. Our youths have been engaged
meaningfully by the Company and no longer thinking of going back to the Creeks to destroy oil facilities".
"The Managing Director of the Company should be
commended for the wonderful things he is doing in the Region and we are not
surprised when the Bayelsa State
Government recently offered to provide land for the Company to build its corporate office and
residential quarters in Yenagoa, the state capital. The Company is doing well
in the Region and we enjoin the Managing Director to keep up with his good
work", the group stated.
According to the group also" So many Communities in the
Region now want to be host to the Nigerian Agip Oil Company Limited because
there is no oil Company that can be compared to Agip. The Managing Director of
the Company should be praised for the Empowerment of our people. The interest
of our people is being well served by the Company. We are charging other
multinational oil companies still
shortchanging our people to emulate Agip in order to eliminate poverty
totally from the Niger Delta Region".
"We are using this medium to appeal to all Stakeholders
where Agip is operating in the Region to support the Company. Agip ought to be
known as Niger Delta Limited as it is the only known oil Company that is
focusing on the development of the Region".
