Senator Heineken Lokpobiri has reaffirmed his commitment to prioritizing environmental safety alongside increased productivity in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.

During a recent meeting with Dr. Nkiruka Maduekwe, Director General and CEO of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), Senator Lokpobiri stressed the need for collaborations and strategic partnerships to achieve environmentally responsible production practices.
The senator’s commitment aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s efforts to address environmental degradation caused by oil spills. President Tinubu has demonstrated his resolve to clean up affected lands, and Senator Lokpobiri’s stance reinforces this goal ¹.
By prioritizing environmental safety, Senator Lokpobiri aims to safeguard the well-being of local communities and preserve the environment while pursuing operational excellence in the oil and gas sector.
