Techno Oil Limited has distributed over 50 Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders to indigent Akwa Ibom women as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility.

Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Techno Oil Limited, Mrs Nkechi Obi, made the distribution in Uyo on Monday during the launch of Arise Human Capital Development Strategic Plan by the Vice President, Sen. Kashim Shettima.

Obi said that no meaningful development of any society can occur without a deliberate, actionable roadmap to address the critical challenges militating against human capital development.

She said that human capital development is crucial for the economic buoyancy of a developing country like Nigeria.

She said that Techno oil is at the forefront of ensuring cleaner, greener, safer, and more environmentally friendly cooking for women by producing quality cooking cylinders for the nation.

“As a woman, I strongly believe that our women and girls must not cook to die, rather they must cook to live.

“Techno Oil Limited, which has been in business for over two decades is an integrated, wholly indigenous company which today holds a diverse portfolio of prime investment in oil and gas, energy, infrastructure and manufacturing.

“As a strategic partner committed to the Energy Transition Plan, LPG Utilization and expansion programmes of the Federal Government of Nigeria,

“Techno Oil has in operation an Ultra-modern LPG Cylinder Manufacturing Plant with an annual production capacity of five million Cylinders,” Obi said.

Obi said from 2013 to date, Techno Oil has distributed over 20,000 units of 6 kg LPG cylinders to indigent women in Nigeria as Corporate Social Responsibility, aimed at promoting clean cooking amongst women and girls.

The high point of the event was the distribution of 12.5kg and 6.25kg cylinders to the women for safer, greener, and healthier cooking.
