RigWorld Services Limited has refuted allegations concerning the transportation of some items from Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) to their warehouse in Takoradi.
Some news outlets reported of fresh information to the effect that the Local Content Coordinator at the Ministry of Energy under the previous government, Afua Amissah asked two Tullow Oil officials to move items from Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) to the warehouse of Rigworld, a private company at Takoradi.
There have been reports in the media alleging that the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and the then Ministry of Energy failed to mention the existence of EDC, a $5 million public-private partnership (PPP) project in Takoradi in their handing over notes to the Transition Team.
However, PRO for RigWorld Services Limited, Roger A. Agana, has stated in a press release on Friday February 3 that his firm “has no arrangement with the Ministry of Energy under the previous government, Tullow Oil, or Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) for the movement of any items to the Rigworld warehouse at Takoradi”.
Below is the full statement:
Rejoinder: GNPC, EDC saga – Ministry official instructed items be moved to Rigworld
RigWorld Services Limited, a reputable oil and gas company offering support services in the upstream sector in Ghana wishes to dissociate itself from a false publication circulating in various platforms concerning the movement of goods from Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) to our warehouse at Takoradi.
A story carrying the headline “GNPC, EDC SAGA – MINISTRY OFFICIAL INSTRUCTED ITEMS BE MOVED TO RIGWORLD” by a reporter named Samuel Dowuona was published on February 2 on AdomOnline.com, Ghanabusinessnews.com and other media outlets.
We wish to state in unequivocal terms that Rigworld has NO arrangement with the Ministry of Energy under the previous government, Tullow Oil or Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) for the movement of any items to Rigworld warehouse at Takoradi.
There is no truth to the publication and can only be described as a figment of the imagination of the media outlets to tarnish the hard won reputation of RigWorld.
We hereby call on the media houses to retract the publication and issue an unqualified apology to Rigworld for inconvenience caused and other negative repercussions of the said publication.
………..Signed……..
