NipeX: EXCELLING EVEN BEYOND OUR BORDERS
The humble, yet giant strides being made by NipeX have not gone unnoticed in the African Continent.
Just recently, a high-powered Ugandan Delegation led by the Director in charge of the Directorate of Petroleum, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development to engage NipeX with the intention of learning about our processes.
This is in consonance with the letter and spirit of Pan-Africanism as originally espoused by the founding fathers of the OAU (Organization for African Unity).
It is further testament to the long held belief that Africa’s salvation lies in Africa and with Africans. We are so proud to be part of the realization.
