The newly appointed Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, on Friday appealed to friends and well-wishers to stop placing congratulatory adverts on him in the media.
Kachikwu, who assumed duty as the 17th GMD of the NNPC on Tuesday, said he sees his appointment as a serious national assignment that does not require the frivolity of congratulatory adverts and the celebration they connote.
His position was contained in a statement issued by the Group General Manager, Public Affairs Division of the NNPC, Ohi Alegbe, on Friday.
The NNPC boss said he would rather appreciate that friends and well-wishers support him with prayers for divine guidance to carry out the onerous task ahead.
