NNPC Continues Search for Bodies After Port Harcourt Helicopter Crash
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has provided an update on the ongoing search efforts following Thursday’s tragic helicopter crash in Port Harcourt.
The crash, involving a helicopter operated by East Winds Aviation, left three people confirmed dead, with their bodies recovered from the damage.
However, NNPC confirmed that despite thorough search and rescue operations, no additional bodies have been found so far.
In a statement shared on their X account, Olufemi Soneye, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, expressed deep sympathy for the families affected by this incident.
He assured the public that the search for any remaining passengers continues, with NNPC actively collaborating with rescue teams and relevant authorities.
The crash has shaken Port Harcourt and raised questions about air safety, particularly in helicopter services within the oil-rich Niger Delta region.
East Winds Aviation, the operator of the flight, provides essential air transportation for companies operating in remote and challenging environments, often transporting personnel and goods to onshore and offshore oil facilities.
As search teams continue their work, the families of those still missing wait anxiously for answers.
NNPC has reassured them of its unrelenting efforts to locate their loved ones and bring closure to this sorrowful chapter.
The company has requested the public’s thoughts and prayers, emphasizing that in such moments, community solidarity and support mean more than ever.
Nigerian fintech company OPay has introduced new security features to improve the safety of its application.
The company unveiled the Emergency Lock and Safety PIN features to give customers better control over their funds and provide added protection against fraud and unauthorized transactions.
The Emergency Lock feature allows customers to instantly freeze their OPay account with a single tap whenever they sense a threat or believe their account may be at risk.
The newly launched Safety PIN introduces an additional layer of security, helping customers protect themselves in situations where they may be forced to make a transfer or payment against their will.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has spoken on the agriculture sector of the country and shared that, in its current state, it needs more capital as it cannot stand alone without it.
They stated that even more capital will be needed in order to transform the agricultural sector and improve food production in Nigeria.
“Relying solely on public capital will not suffice to finance the transformation of Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Similarly, private capital will not be mobilised at the necessary scale unless the associated risks are comprehensively understood, appropriately allocated, and effectively managed.”
It has been noted that there is now an increase in fuel all around Nigeria, from … to 1000 plus in fuel stations.
It was also noted that Dangote Petroleum Refinery increased the price to 1,175 per litre and diesel has been increased to 1,620 per litre.
This new spike in fuel increase has caused Nigerians to lament widely, wondering why this change happened all of a sudden.
