"The Ministry is full of admiration for your selfless contributions, which have not only enhanced our rating among MDAs but also brought about notable milestones in the oil and gas sub-sector," he stated.


He emphasized that while material rewards cannot fully compensate for their sacrifices, retirees should derive satisfaction from the fact they you left the service better than they met it and that they were privileged to be part of the policy and structural reforms which are repositioning the service to global standards, adding that their expertise may still be sought to address future challenges.


The Permanent Secretary also congratulated recipients of the 2025 Ministerial Awards, acknowledging their responsibilities, excellence and professionalism.

The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) has left us without a choice but to aim for excellence in achieving the lofty objectives for the Oil and Gas industry"


He noted that "The Ministry of Petroleum Resources is strategically placed to facilitate optimum productivity of the sector and we cannot afford to fail the nation"


He concluded by wishing the retirees well and urging all staff to uphold the values of dedication and integrity.
