National Chairman of PETAN, Engr. Wole Ogunsanye, gave the charge while fielding questions from newsmen after he led a team on a facility visit and tour of Solewant Group Plant in Eleme local government area of Rivers State.
Solewant Group is an indigenous company that deals in pipe fabrication and coating.
Ogunsanye said, “PETAN is the indigenous organization that builds capacity. We have the know-how. Many of us come from the industry, highly experienced.
“We raise funds from Nigerian banks. We put those funds to use, and you are seeing what it is here. It is in Nigeria’s interest that this facility, all of the capacity that we have built, is utilized for Nigeria.”
Continuing, he said, “We cannot afford to outsource these kinds of services that Nigerians have put on the ground to anybody, whether within or outside Nigeria. It is not in our economic interest.”
