The Managing Director of ANOH Gas Processing Company (AGPC), Mr. James Makinde, has paid a courtesy visit to the Honorable Commissioner for Petroleum Resources in Imo State, reaffirming the company’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with government and host community stakeholders.
The visit, according to Mr. Makinde, was part of his early stakeholder engagement since assuming office, aimed at building strong relationships critical to the safe and efficient operation of the company’s gas processing activities.
He noted that his priority is to consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor while driving improved operational performance.
“My predecessor laid a solid foundation. My role is to build on that foundation, optimize the plant’s capacity, and ensure we deliver greater value. This cannot be achieved without a strong partnership with the government and stakeholders,” he said.
Mr. Makinde, who has worked previously with Shell and Seplat in the gas sector, emphasized his commitment to collaboration, adding that sustained engagement remains key to achieving operational excellence.
In his response, the Commissioner for Petroleum Resources commended AGPC for its proactive and community-driven approach to operations, describing it as exemplary within the oil and gas industry.
He highlighted the company’s direct engagement with host communities as a major strength, noting that such efforts have contributed to improved trust and cooperation.
“The way AGPC engages directly at the community level is commendable. It has helped build trust and deliver tangible impact through employment and development initiatives,” the Commissioner said.
He further reaffirmed the State Government’s support for AGPC operations, noting ongoing efforts to create an enabling environment for investment, including infrastructure development and plans for an energy corridor in the state.
Both parties expressed commitment to sustained collaboration aimed at promoting economic development, energy security, and community prosperity in Imo State.
