Arco Group, comprising Arco Petrochemical and Engineering, has raised a crop of indigenous engineers and technicians rendering maintenance services in the oil and gas sector as their foreign counterparts.

Arco’s Chief Executive Officer, Alfred Okoigun, who stated this while conducting the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, round the firms Stand during the African Petroleum Congress and Exhibition in Abuja, said the company has over 400 indigenous engineers and technicians, among others in its employ.

otherwise known as Cape VI was the visit of high ranking government officials and business moguls and other dignitaries to the Arco Stand at the exhibition hall of the Congress.

Okoigun, told Osinbajo, who was accompanied by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, that the one-man business he founded in 1980 has become a three-subsidiary organisation with Arco Group Plc as the holding company and among them employing over 400 Nigerian engineers, technicians and other professionals as well as ancillary staff.

He said Arco’s aspiration has been to prove that Nigerians can maintain complex oil and gas equipment like rotating compressors, adding that the company has demonstrated that feat before.

He said with its partnership with EthosEnergy, a world renowned maintenance engineering firm, Original Equipment Manufacturer in oil and gas, the oil  servicing company can undertake any task, no matter the complexity, “it can be maintained by the Nigerian engineers and technicians in Arco Maintenance and Engineering Limited.

This  can be done at cheaper costs than what obtains at the present, he said.
