Since the enactment of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act in 2010, Lee Engineering and Construction Company Limited, has sustained its efforts to transform the industry into equipment fabrication hub, writes Peter Uzoho
In this regard, Lee Engineering and Construction Company Limited, an Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Operation and Maintenance firm has not only shown outstanding feat but set to take the central stage in industrial equipment manufacturing. He noted that: “Presently, all manners of steel fabricating machines have been installed while Nigerians with the necessary expertise operating them perfectly.”
The wisdom of capitalising on available potential drove Ikpea into incorporating Lee Engineering and Construction Company in 1991. Thirty years after, the firm has established itself as a major player in her core concept of engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance and is venturing into industrial equipment fabrication.
“A large proportion of the heavy equipment used to connect the gas wells to the gas plants was built in Nigeria and much of the construction materials and supplies including power cables, cable trays and accessories, paint and civil infrastructure materials were locally manufactured,” said SPDC. To encourage companies like Lee Engineering,the federal government should make it mandatory for the OICs to patronise the local players.
The relationship led to over 30 personnel of the company being sent abroad for on-the-spot training on how to install and operate the equipment.
