The new Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, has appealed to friends and well-wishers to stop placing adverts to congratulate him on his appointment in the media.
Dr. Kachikwu who assumed duty as the 17th GMD of the Corporation on Tuesday 4th August, 2015, said he sees his appointment as a serious national assignment that does not require the frivolity of congratulatory adverts and the celebration they connote.
Kachikwu said he would rather appreciate that friends and well-wishers support him with their prayers for divine guidance to carry out the onerous task ahead.
