ExxonMobil Producing Company Limited has warned youths of Onne in Eleme Local Government Area of Rivers State against smearing the name of the NNPC/MPC Joint Venture by using the bus donated to them for political campaigns.
The Manager, Field, Public and Government Affairs, Adeyemi Fakayejo, spoke yesterday after delivering a 16-seater bus to youths at Mobil operation base in Oil and Gas Free Zone Onne, Eleme.
He said: “This vehicle is meant to assist in community mobilisation, to ensure that whatever they do in the community is given visibility. This vehicle is not for political campaign, it shall never be used to campaign for any party.
“This bus is not also meant for the exclusive use of the youth chairman, it should not be converted into his personal vehicle, but should be judiciously used for the purpose for which it was given and be handed over to his successor at the end of his tenure in office.
“The bus is the property of the youth and should be seen and used for official duties, hence the inscription: ‘For Official Use’ only, on the bus.”
