Mangal Cement Industry Commissions Additional Solar-Powered Borehole in Iluhagba

 













Mangal Cement Industry has commissioned an additional solar-powered borehole in Iluhagba, it's host community in Kogi State, as part of its Community Development Agreement (CDA).


Speaking at the event, which was well-attended by the community, the General Manager, Transport and Logistics, Muhammad Umar Sanda, reaffirmed the company's commitment to maintaining a cordial relationship with the host community and implementing all agreements to enhance living standards.


He noted that the company has already delivered 6 solar-powered boreholes as outlined in the CDA, and the additional one is necessary to support the existing ones, ensuring access to clean, potable water.


The elated monarch of the community, Oba David Samuel Olayemi, commended the company's generosity for aiding the community, saying the people are grateful for the support, especially during the dry season.


He commended Mangal Cement Industry for its efforts, saying the company has lived up to expectations.


While, the President of Iluhagba Development Association, (IDA) Dr Wale Oyelola, praised the company for listening to the people, saying the association will continue to support efforts to maintain harmony between the company and the community.


He nostalgically acknowledged the company's kind gesture in December, providing medical supplies worth over ₦5 million and other items to the community.


The Community Liaison Officer, Hon. Dare Osawu, said the additional solar-powered borehole was necessary because one of the existing ones had issues, so the company provided another one in front of the traditional ruler's house to support the existing ones.


He commended the General Manager, Administration and Human Resources, Dr. Umar Musa, for providing the right leadership that enables the company and host communities to continue enjoying cordial relationships. 

He also noted that the company has provided another solar-powered borehole in Odokoro-Gbede to replace the existing one that's not functioning up to expectations.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
