Taofeek Adegbite, the Chief Executive Officer of Marine Platforms Limited, speaks on some industry issues and offers a way out How has COVID-19 affected the oil and gas sector in Nigeria? On a macro level, lower demand for hydrocarbons for fuelling cars and planes created a collapse in energy prices. In Nigeria, this led to the cancellation of contracts for service companies, the renegotiation of rates and the loss of jobs. Our company was the first in the country to witness a Covid-19 infection, and although this was an unpleasant situation, it made us react and develop strong safety and health procedures to tackle the problem. Our medical team was trained in disease control and infection, thanks to Lagos State Infectious Disease Control, and we were able to set up procedures that were later shared and used by other companies in the sector to mitigate the spread of infections in offshore locations. The Covid-19 pandemic has been very challenging, with revenue down sharply and jobs suspended, but we have managed to keep afloat and continue operations – proving the resilience of the Nigerian oil and gas industry as a whole. The pandemic has not ended, and nor have its consequences, but I trust that the sector will come out stronger. We are definitely more prepared than before the pandemic to deal with this type of unexpected situation.
