Festus Marinho Is Dead: First NNPC MD Dies by naptu2: 7:37am On Jan 19, 2021 |
The First Managing Director Of The NNPC, Chief Festus Marinho, Is Dead. Chief Dr Sir Festus Marinho has died at the age of 87. He served as the managing director of the NNPC from 1977 to 1979 and also served a second term from 1984 to 1985. Born on December 30, 1934 in Ijebu-Ode, Marinho had his childhood in the “Brazilian Quarters” of Lagos Island and attended St. Gregory’s College Obalende, Lagos. He matriculated into the then University College, Ibadan in 1956, became a ’College Scholar’ in 1957 and graduated with Bachelor of Science (Special Honours) in Physics of the University of London in 1960. Upon joining the public service as the nation’s second Oil Technologist-in-Training, ever, he proceeded to the Imperial College, London for post-graduate studies in Petroleum Reservoir Engineering from 1960-61. Rising through the ranks in the emerging Petroleum Resources Ministry, Marinho was appointed Managing Director of the NNPC at its inauguration on April 1, 1977. Among the phenomenal achievements he fostered in the petroleum industry, it is recorded that he positioned the NNPC towards the realisation of government policies at a time when government was run with some sense of nationalism. He was also said to have been at the forefront in the drafting of some of the crucial petroleum laws and regulations. Concerning infrastructural management, he was instrumental in the setting up of three refineries, with accompanying networks of nationwide crude and product pipelines and petroleum storage depots, within a decade. His patriotic zeal was made evident when he pursued a Nigerianisation agenda that saw the influx of independent indigenous marketers into the erstwhile multinational-dominated products market, the domestication of technical expertise in the industry, and the aggressive commercial expansion of Nigeria’s natural gas into a success story. What would have been a dark cloud overshadowing an enviable career was the N2.8 billion missing oil revenue, otherwise dubbed the ‘oil-gate saga’. But Marinho was vindicated and re-instated for the second time as Managing Director when the Justice Irikefe Judicial Tribunal of Inquiry, upon painstaking investigation, declared the ‘oil-gate’ a hoax. Chief Marinho once joked that he was the only person in Nigeria that was retired twice. He said, “On the day of my dismissal, the Federal Government sent me a letter of retirement. The following year, the Minister also sent me another letter of retirement. So apparently, I’m the only one in Nigeria who was retired twice,” he said. On retiring from public service, Marinho, who is a recipient of many traditional chieftaincy titles, professional and religious awards including the papal knighthood of St. Sylvester, served in various capacities in the oil and gas industry, including as chairman of Lekoil Limited. May his soul rest in peace. Picture 2) Chief Festus Marinho looking at his potrait among the portraits of other former managing directors of the NNPC.

Queenlovely:I don't know him but think in his time things were much better and corruption was minimal. He built refineries that served the nation for decades before the current era of importation. Petrol was less that 50kobo per litre. 6 Likes 1 Share |

God made man to die once after death is judgement! a righteous person with clean heart will be in heaven. an unrepented sinner will be in hell. the question are, how did you prepare yourself? how is the level of your relationship with God? how did you prepare yourself to escape the wrate of GOD on judgement day. 2 Likes 1 Share |
