Chevron Nigeria reiterates commitment to Niger Delta development

Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), operators of the joint venture between the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and CNL confirms its commitment to socio-economic development in the Niger Delta.

The Director & Chief Operating Officer, Chevron Nigeria and Mid-Africa Region, Segun Kuteyi, during a visit of CNL and NDDC to the Delta State government on March 12, 2026, in Asaba, said CNL has demonstrated interest in stakeholder discussions in respect of the proposed Escravos to Warri Road Project and continues to partner with the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and Delta State government to understand the proposal.

Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Chevron Nigeria and Mid-Africa Region, Olusoga Oduselu, in a statement, quoted Kuteyi as saying CNL believes that the construction of the road will potentially improve connectivity and foster economic development in the region.

He also recognised the critical importance of building the required synergy with the Delta State government through the project lifecycle.

According to Kuteyi, CNL believes that a collaborative approach with various stakeholders including government agencies, local communities, and private sector partners will deliver best value and the NDDC, being the initiator of the project, is a critical stakeholder in the project.

“Nigeria’s Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme (RITCS) provides a framework that may incentivise eligible private sector participation,” he stated.

He added that Chevron would continue to collaborate with the Nigerian government and other stakeholders to support the development of the Nigerian oil and gas industry and the Nigerian economy.
