The Nigerian content development and monitoring board (NCDMB) has applauded BUNORR Integrated Energy Limited for its renewed operational excellence and commitment to advancing Nigeria’s circular industrial economy, following an inspection visit to the company’s Omagwa facility in Rivers State.
During the tour, NCDMB’s head of government Relations, Mr. Teddy Bai, encouraged the company to sustain its drive for indigenous expertise and quality service delivery.
“We encourage local capacity, and we are confident in the responsibilities that local content represents, Bai stated,you are producing quality, and you are managing quality.”
“Bai also addressed BUNORR’s appeal for public electricity supply, stressing the crucial role of media advocacy in accelerating government attention to industrial challenges.”
“There’s something you talked about power electricity he said I think you have the right people here who can drive that, and that is the media,because of what they have seen today, you will see it in over twenty reports,the media is quite good, and I encourage you to take that part seriously we will report it to our management.”
He further emphasized the need for environmental consciousness and clean energy practices, contrasting BUNORR’s regulated operations with unsafe methods in the creeks.
“We talk about a clean environment and clean energy these are not things our cousins do out in the creek servicing four or five cars and wasting crude oil, we are also polluting the environment, and this waste can generate money for us, he noted.”
Bai added that the board is pleased that BUNORR’s operations reflect “value and credibility” for Nigeria’s expanding circular economy.
Earlier, the managing director of BUNORR, Mr. Modestus Ikechukwu Okeke, appealed to the Rivers State government to urgently provide public electricity to the Omagwa community, he said inadequate power supply remains a significant barrier to industrial growth and local energy innovation.
“According to Okeke, access to stable public power would drastically reduce production costs and support the expansion of the company’s recycled base oil manufacturing for Nigeria’s lubricant market.”
“A substantial portion of our resources currently goes into diesel and private power generation funds that could be invested in expansion and job creation he explained.”
“Okeke disclosed that BUNORR has fully recovered from more than two years of operational downtime,the company, he said, now enjoys improved production efficiency, increased output, and a positive operating surplus.he added that November 2025 recorded the company’s highest revenue since commissioning, reinforcing its commercial viability.”
In his closing remarks, the MD expressed gratitude to NCDMB for its consistent support and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability, national energy security, and the promotion of Nigerian local content.
