The National President of the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers (NSChE), Dr. John Erinne, has called for a vibrant petrochemical sector, emphasizing the need to resuscitate the rather abandoned sector, calling on the government to re-industrialize the sector if any true economic growth is to be witnessed, adding that the recession of such magnitude on the sector portends a negative trend for Nigeria's economy.
He stated this at the recent International Petrochemical Workshop organised by the Nigerian NSChE in Lagos, saying the workshop was organized to draw attention to the rather neglected but potentially hugely prosperous sub-sector of the economy
Reiterating the government's commitment to rehabilitate the sector, the Group Executive Director (GED), Refining and Petrochemicals of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), said significant value is yet to be added to the natural resources the country possessed and petrochemical industry has great potential to affect that development which can only be brought about when value is added.
