NNPC Limited is making a real difference for Nigerians by commissioning and handing over three fully rehabilitated 100-bed wards to the National Orthopedic Hospital in Igbobi, Lagos.
This Corporate Social Responsibility project, led by NNPC Foundation Ltd./Gte., upgrades Wards G, H, and J with new beds, a central medical gas system, fresh roofing and ceilings, modernized electrical and mechanical systems, and durable vinyl flooring.
Before this intervention, the wards’ poor condition had severely limited the hospital’s inpatient capacity. Now, they deliver higher standards of care for patients in need.
At the handover ceremony, Group Chief Executive Officer Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, represented by Chief Financial Officer Adedapo Segun, emphasized that true profitability at NNPC goes beyond production and revenue.
“It includes the profound social impact we create,” he said, expressing pride in the project’s transformative effects.
On her part, Managing Director of NNPC Foundation, Emmanuella Arukwe, said through the intervention, NNPC Foundation has helped to strengthen a facility that has served Nigerians for many decades.
"Beyond the immediate benefits, this effort reflects the role NNPC Foundation plays as the social impact arm of NNPC Limited. Our focus remains on practical interventions that improve lives and align with national priorities in healthcare," she stated.
Providing further view into the project, the Medical Director of the National Orthopedic Hospital, Igbobi, Dr. Wakeel Lawal, said the Management was constrained by the dire situation of the facilities to write to NNPC Foundation for intervention.
He expressed gratitude to the Management of NNPC Limited for granting the request and delivering an outstanding transformation in bringing the wards to international standards, stressing that what NNPC Limited has done goes beyond rehabilitation. It represents a renewal of hope.
The commissioning and handover was witnessed by NNPC Ltd.’s Executive Vice President – Business Services, Mrs Sophia Mbakwe.
