The year 2020 is a year like no other. A year that threw up a health challenge which brought the whole world to its knees.
The coronavirus pandemic precipitated the lockdown of social and economic activities across the world, displacing the fortunes of many nations and businesses with the Oil and Gas Sector not being an exemption. 2020 is a year that brought West Texas Intermediate crude futures to below zero dollars. A calamity never seen before.
However, like the hot fire that produces the finest steel, the challenges that Covid-19 threw at humanity brought the ingenuity and astute management skills of the NNPC Group Managing Director and his team to the fore.

One Sunday morning, Percy Piestewa received a call from her daughter Lori, a Soldier with the 507th Maintenance Company stationed on Fort Bliss. “Mom, we’re deploying tomorrow,” Lori said.
It was the day after the Hopi Powamu, or Bean Dance Ceremony, in which the Hopi people pray for an abundance of water, food, good weather and peace in the coming year. Percy’s husband Terry had been preparing for weeks. He’d run himself ragged with last-minute details in the four days preceding the event and had been up all night participating in the traditional dances. “I’m not sure I can go,” he told his wife. “I’m too tired to drive.” It’s several hours by car from Tuba City, Ariz., to El Paso, Texas, and one of them would have to return with Lori’s car while the other returned in the Family car.
