NEITI’s executive secretary, Dr. Orji Ogbonnaya Orji, who made this known, said that prominent diplomatic missions in Nigeria, at a recent meeting in Abuja, pledged their support and readiness to strengthen NEITI’s commitment in offering technical assistance, pursuing governance reforms and deepening its involvement in Nigeria’s oil, gas, and mining sectors.
The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium to Nigeria, Mr. Pieter Leenknegt, particularly commended the quality and depth of NEITI’s recently released 2021 Oil, Gas, and Solid Minerals Industry Reports, praising the groundbreaking disclosures on outstanding remittances to shore up government revenue, the incisive findings and recommendations, and NEITI’s overall courage in public disclosures to enhance transparency and accountability in the sector.
