I would like to start this piece with that famous quote by Ivan Turgenev; who said and I quote. “If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready we shall never begin”. This is the story of Bell Oil and Gas( BOG). BOG’s journey has been tumultuous, it has been fraught with ups and downs, given to the ups and downs in our industry locally and internationally. Stringent regulatory requirements guide our operations. There is also the covid-19 Pandemic and all the issues that surround it.

In spite of all the challenges, BOG has remained dogged- the OCTG threading and Valves Assembly plants at the Lekki Free Zone, Lagos, are near commissioning.

Time will not permit me to enumerate all the achievements of BOG in the last two decades. I, however, must mention that BOG has contributed to building the capacity of our budding youths by her various educational interventions by way of corporate social responsibility.

I celebrate the visionary founders and wish the entire BOG family a happy 20th anniversary.

Greater heights ahead.
