There is beauty in telling the story about an institution as unique as BOG. Her grace lightens the path of her people for all to see and know, and I am one of them.
My BOG adventure didn’t start with the experience of a fully fitted resume but the guts and the determination to win. I know this was what the team saw and took a chance on me as an office assistant. I came to this great establishment fresh with little experience, but BOG made me a force to be known and admired.
Coming from the days of looking so much like a fresh kid thrown from Silicon Valley into a new world to this day, BOG has refined me and many others. I cannot help but use my pen as I travel memory lane. It all begins to make more sense now as I look to the many trainings and re-trainings I got until I became a professional with awards to show for it. Who makes a finance professional/expert out of an office assistant; you need not guess, BOG!
In our Port Harcourt pidgin, we would say na who carry body go chop bole de know-how de stew take go well. Truth be told, the beauty you see on the outside is due to the smart work and commitment of the team within. I am here, and I know.
Today, I am glad the vision came through the years and found me and others who are now basking in the grace of this vision. BOG is reputed for building people and turning potentials into professionals in a multifaceted energy sector.
Now, history is about to take a shift. At BOG, the global space is becoming our playground to do
great things. Our future, Project Evolution – Pipe Threading and Valve Assembly Plant BOG is shooting us to greater heights, and we are ready for evolution.
Watch out for BOG reloaded 2.0.
