Seplat has no plan to sack workers despite COVID-19 challenges – Dr Orjiako


The Chairman, Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc, Dr. A.B.C. Orjiako insisted that the company has no plan to sack it's worker covid-19 period
He also narrated Company’s support to the Federal Government in closing the gap in power infrastructure by investing in gas, future acquisition plans, the need for cleaner energy ; the sustenance of improved shareholders’ value, financial performance among others.
Despite that difficulty, we did not downsize our labour force because we recognised all the effort by our staff in making sure that this company grows. In 2020, we have no plan to cut down our staff strength despite the challenges of COVID-19 and volatility in crude oil prices and we believe that we will put our complement of staff as part of our strategy to go through the survival mode as well as see growth even in the face of the difficulties.
One of the areas of our strategy is prioritising our gas. Gas before the pandemic, remained a continuous project in terms of commercialisation for a very long time. The reasons are not farfetched because we want to identify with the Federal Government in terms of closing the gap in power infrastructure and as a result of that we have invested heavily in gas. Today, Seplat is happy to say that we have provided 30 percent of gas in Nigeria which is still growing..
