“Chevron has been in Nigeria for over 60 years, contributing to national growth and development while making human investments that deliver long-term transformative returns.
We recognize that the success of the larger society invariably translates to success in our business.
It is in our long-term interest to add value to society as we create value for our stakeholders. We believe affordable, reliable and ever-cleaned energy is essential to building a more prosperous and sustainable world,” he said.
Victor further applauded the media for its vital role in Nigeria’s development as a nation, stressing that the press deserves praise for shaping public perception of the oil and gas industry.
“As members of the fourth estate of the realm, media practitioners continue to play a vital role as agenda-setters and opinion moulders in society,” he added.
