Shettima Commissions New Northwest Petroleum Headquarters as Nigeria Seeks Greater Indigenous Energy Investment
LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima has commissioned the new corporate headquarters of Northwest Petroleum & Gas Company Limited in Lagos, highlighting the company’s investment as a sign of growing indigenous participation in the country’s oil and gas industry.
Shettima commissioned the ultra-modern facility in Victoria Island on Friday, saying the new headquarters reflects Northwest Petroleum’s ambitions to strengthen its operations and remain competitive in an evolving global energy market.
The Vice President said the facility would provide a modern platform for collaboration among the company’s employees, business partners and other stakeholders, while supporting the company’s long-term growth.
He described the headquarters as an important expansion for Northwest Petroleum, an indigenous operator in Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector, saying the investment sends a message to investors and clients about the company’s commitment to its operations in Nigeria.
According to Shettima, the development also demonstrates the role that indigenous companies can play in expanding private-sector capacity within Nigeria’s energy industry.
The commissioning comes as Nigeria continues to seek greater investment and stronger domestic participation across its oil and gas value chain, amid efforts to position the sector for a changing global energy landscape.
The new headquarters is expected to serve as the company’s corporate base as Northwest Petroleum continues to develop its business and engage with stakeholders across Nigeria’s petroleum and gas industry.
