Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, on Monday met with the top echelon of the Anoh Gas Processing Company, where both parties reaffirmed their strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the economic growth of not just Imo as the Company’s host State but Nigeria as a whole.
The Chief Press Secretary/Special Adviser (Media) to the Governor, Oguwike Nwachuku, made the disclosure in a release.
According to Nwachukwu, the brief but critical meeting which took place in the Governor’s office at Owerri was also an opportunity for the Anoh Gas Processing Company to introduce her new helmsman, the Managing Director, Mr. James Makinde.
Mr. Makinde was accompanied on the visit by his General Manager, Operations, Engr. Amaechi Nwogbe.
Uzodimma had reiterated his administration’s commitment to building strategic partnerships, not only with Anoh Gas Processing Company but with other forward-looking establishments, with the intention of driving economic growth and shared prosperity across Imo State and beyond.
For Anoh Gas Processing Company in particular, he stressed that their presence in Imo is to ensure that the vast potential of the State’s gas reserves does not remain abstract.
Uzodimma was glad to note that Anoh Gas Processing Company had taken advantage of the large quantity of gas deposits in Imo State, and promised the new management of his administration’s willingness to continue creating an enabling environment that will guarantee the success of their strategic collaboration.
The Governor reaffirmed his administration’s desire to ensure that the State’s hydrocarbon wealth was put to proper economic use in the interest of the suffering citizens and, particularly, for the enhancement of their living standards.
“This government remains committed to partnerships and collaborations that align with our objective of sharing prosperity across the State.”
He urged Anoh Gas Chiefs to focus on actionable frameworks that will deepen local content, create jobs, build infrastructure and expand revenue streams in a manner that will result to a win-win situation for the company and Imo State.
Earlier in his remarks, the Managing Director, Mr. Makinde, expressed his desire to meet with the Governor shortly after resuming recently.
He reemphasized the Company’s readiness to deepen her strategic collaboration with Imo in the State’s quest to expand access to gas-based industries and for other uses.
Makinde noted that Anoh Gas Processing Company is pleased to be exploring practical areas of partnership aimed at unlocking Imo’s natural resource potential, stressing that the intention is to deliver sustainable socioeconomic benefits to the people of the State in particular and the country at large.
He thanked the Governor for finding time to interface with his team despite his tight schedule.
