Total
Nigeria Plc has again been recognised for its quality-driven operations and
global best practice standards in products and services with the award as the
‘Most Trusted Quality Oil & Gas Company’.
This was conferred on the company at the special
edition of the African Quality Institute’s commemoration events of the World
Quality Day, held last weekend in Lagos. The company beat other companies
in the nation’s oil and gas marketing sub-sector’s awards category due to what
the organisers termed “Total Nigeria Plc’s consistency in placing high premium
on quality in all areas of its operations.”
In his welcome address, the Chairman, Professor Stanley Ohenhen, said the yearly World Quality Day is celebrated globally to increase awareness on the importance of quality makes in organisational and national growth and prosperity. Specifically, he explained that to mark the day, businesses across the world take part in a variety of activities such as business-wide seminars, presentations, quizzes and competitions at their workplace. Events are usually organised by quality professionals both within organisations and independent bodies, and are designed to spread the ‘importance of quality’ message to non-quality professionals.
Ohenhen explained that the theme of this year’s event:
“Making Operational Governance Count,” was quite instructive as it is a
collection of the activities that drive formulated corporate visions, mission,
goals, objectives and policies are implemented with thoroughly guided
continuous improvement processes in place. He explained that it was in
recognition of the awardees’ commitment to quality consciousness in all aspects
of their operations that they were being recognised with the prestigious
awards.
Responding, spokesman for Total Nigeria, Albert Mabayaku, said: “It
gives us great joy to be recognised by a global quality measurement organisation.
Over the past 60 years of our operation in Nigeria with 530 service stations
well spread across the country, we have shown that we are a consumer-centric
company which places high premium on quality in our products and services.
