The occasion had in attendance several imminent Nigerians, including the minister for Petroleum resources Diezani Alison-Madueke and the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshimole. In her address, the minister noted that the re-commissioning of the Benin depot was part of the Government’s plans to sanitise the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry. The Governor further buttressed the points made by the minister, stressing that the exercise demonstrates the Federal Governments resolve at maintaining the on-going reforms in the oil and gas industry.
