He said efforts were on top gear to create a conducive working environment for members of staff.

According to him, for NNPC to transform into a profit establishment, the morale of the work force must be high.

He urged the management to provide leadership by example to the workforce while adding that sectionalism, tribalism and any form of non-transparent transactions must be completely stamped out.

Kachikwu also admonished the members of staff to act as change agents.
