Heritage Energy, NNPC JV Deliver Modern Police Station In Delta

Heritage Energy Operational Services Limited (HEOSL) and its OML 30 Joint Venture Partners, Nigeria National Petroleum Company Exploration and Production Limited (NEPL) and Shoreline Natural Resources Limited (SNRL) have delivered an ultra-modern police station to Evwreni Community Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State.

Heritage Energy’s General manager (GM) for Government, Joint Ventures and External Affairs, Reverend Sola Adebawo, said the project was funded in recognition of the importance of security and respect for the rule of law.

“This project is in line with goal 16 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal as it is designed to significantly reduce all forms of violence and related crime rate in Evwreni and environs while also promoting the rule of law,” he said.

The GM further explained that the project was a legacy project under the rested Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMoU), which has transited to Host Community Development Trust (HCDT).
He reiterated the importance of rule of law and peace as business enablers which would lead to more benefits for stakeholders, adding that, “It is important for host communities to live harmoniously with oil and gas companies for mutual benefits, as business will only thrive in a peaceful environment.”
Inaugurating the complex, with the Sienna operational vehicle attached, the Delta State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olufemi Abaniwonda, commended Heritage Energy and its JV partners for building and equipping the facility.

The commissioner who was represented by the Area Commander of Ughelli Command, Ademola Adebayo, enjoined the community to partner with the Police to ensure a fruitful co-existence. While urging other communities to emulate Evwreni, the Area Commander promised to liaise with the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Ughelli Division to deploy officers to the new station.
