The new Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, yesterday appealed to friends and well-wishers to stop placing congratulatory adverts on him in the media.
NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Ohi Alegbe, said this in a statement yesterday.
Kachikwu, who assumed duty as the 17th GMD of the corporation on Tuesday, said he sees his appointment as a serious national assignment, which does not require the frivolity of congratulatory adverts and the celebration they connote.
He said he would rather appreciate that friends and well-wishers support him with their prayers for divine guidance to carry out the onerous task ahead.
