To facilitate the NPA's operations, Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) donated a brand-new coaster bus to the One-Stop-Shop (OSS) Committee.
This claim was made in a letter signed by Alhaji Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Industries Limited, who promised that his organisation would continue exploring ways to support the committee in carrying out its responsibilities under the presidential decree.
The NPA issued a statement on Tuesday confirming this donation according to a Punch report.
The letter states in part:
“In recognition of the enormous responsibility placed on the shoulders of the One-Stop-Shop by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and our commitment to ensuring the committee effectively delivers on its mandate, I am pleased to donate one brand-new coaster bus to facilitate the daily operations of the committee. We believe this bus will be of great value to the committee as we continue to look for ways to support and appreciate the efforts of this noble committee.”
It is worth noting that during a recent visit to the NPA, Zacch Adedeji, the Chairman of the Technical Sub-Committee on the implementation of the Federal Government's policy on the domestic sale of crude oil and refined products in Naira, praised the NPA-led One-Stop-Shop (OSS) team for ensuring the smooth execution of the directive.
Adedeji praised the NPA-led team for playing a key role in the effective implementation of the presidential order governing the domestic sale of crude oil and processed products in naira.
“We recognise that this pioneering effort is a significant achievement, which undoubtedly reflects your commitment and patriotism. Thus, we encourage you to maintain the hard work and dedication that has made this initiative a success. We also extend our gratitude to all participating agencies for their invaluable cooperation and support,” Adedeji said.
