The Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) and Joint Venture (JV) have distributed food and essential goods to about 260 communities hit by a flood in Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and Imo states.

A delegation of the JV led by the General Manager of the Port Harcourt District began distribution at the weekend at the host communities of Ob/Ob Gas Plant after meeting with their leaders.

NAOC expressed its sympathy with the host communities saying the gesture was to reinforce the existing collaborative relationship that had existed with the communities since 1962.

The company said the mutually beneficial partnership had become more important at the time of the disaster.

The communities of the area, represented by His Royal Highness Louis Ajie Eze Iyasira (Prime Minister of Ogba Land) expressed appreciation to the JV for the timely support.

The NAOC JV shareholders are NNPC E&P Limited (NEPL), Eni’s subsidiary NAOC and Oando.
