RE-CALIBRATING ENTIRE NIPCO WORKFORCE FOR NEW HORIZON

My Esteemed Colleagues;

As 2020 draws to a close, it is time to reflect on the outgoing year and welcome you to 2021.

Being my maiden message to employees as Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of this great company, following my appointment in January 2020, I am pleased to offer utmost appreciation on behalf of myself and the entire top management team to the entire workforce for your hard work through the year.    

This is incontrovertible:  2020 has remained the most challenging across the world no thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted negatively the socio- economic activities and wellness of the people across the world. The pandemic has in no small measure reflected on the nation which officially noted to have slipped into a recession after its gross domestic product (GDP) contracted for the second consecutive quarter.

Management not being oblivious of the effect of the pandemic stepped up its commitment to the safety of the workforce through plethora of measures in mitigating the impacts.

I am proud and elated by the way our company has risen to the challenge with – resilience and courage exhibited during the year on the ravaging virus especially in keeping our core business going.

We remained nimble and committed to human capital development as panacea to the company’s success story.

I implored all employees to discharge their duties with diligence and professionalism to fire up our service delivery to all stakeholders in the hydrocarbon industry.

Our success in 2020 was also predicated on our ability to operate diligently in the industry without compromise on safety and our usual stellar customer satisfaction.

I urge every one of you to observe our core values, work towards building a more cohesive and effective organization and strive towards greater heights by 2021. As we continue to grow there will be more opportunities for all cadres of the workforce to advance further with the company.

Make full use of the emerging opportunities as we intend strengthening our workforce to attract more prominence in the New Year and beyond; we would encourage you to learn new skills, take more responsibilities and be unfazed in the face of challenges.

As part of the digital transformation and resource development efforts, our employees would have greater access to upgrade themselves through online training platforms as well as training conducted by in-house and external trainers.

Broadening our marketing horizon is another plank the company intends focusing in the New Year to further improve our bottom line.

In the same manner, we are constantly reviewing our safety processes and procedures as well to ensure there are no lapses to elicit any awful consequences.

In conclusion, my challenge to the workforce is that it is important to recalibrate ourselves for the changing times to enable moving forward as a team. When our core values and actions are in alignment, a thriving culture emerges. Challenges beset us just as in life and many times it is beyond our control. Together, everyone achieves more! 

I wish you a wonderful year filled with enormous happiness and boundless joy.
