The diversity of thoughts on economies, gender parity & the global energy landscape made Day 3 of #OandoAtWEF remarkable.

On ways to save the planet, @EU_Commission First Vice-President @TimmermansEU for the #EUGreenDeal sat on the “Striking a Green New Deal” panel stating... Image
...“This is one of the issues where nobody doubts that we have to act on a continental scale if we really want to make a difference. So we took a holistic approach & we said that if we want to be climate neutral by 2050, what does that mean for 2030, 2040 & 5 years after that?
It’s not only about energy or oil & gas but the whole economy, this is because we are also in the middle of an industrial revolution that coincides with the climate crisis. One thing is clear, every industrial revolution has the potential to be extremely disruptive & unfair...
...so if you take your role as government seriously you have to organise it properly along side stakeholders in a way that leads to a redistribution that leaves no one behind and I think that is the core element of the #GreenDeal. It's clear, without the Gen-Z we won’t be here.”
Speaking directly to "Getting to 50-50 Gender Parity", @phumzileunwomen, Executive Director of @UN_Women said; "The no of women who are in leadership in the private sector is not adequate... we have to keep fighting, parity is parity. If it's not parity, it's not the real thing.”
Finland's @FinGovernment Prime Minister, ⁦@MarinSanna⁩, also said; "We have too few fathers spending more time with their children when they are still young. We want equality in the parental leave system also. My husband & I split our parental leave system in half”.
Finland was also applauded when ⁦@MarinSanna⁩ highlighted her government’s efforts toward gender parity;  "We have so many young women in power, we actually have a 5 party coalition government & each party has women in charge. 4 of us are under 35years & one of us is over 50.
...So, we do have different generations in government and of course it looks different than what we are used to. I hope that in the future it doesn't get as much attention because it should also be seen as normal."

Earlier today, our GCE, @AdewaleTinubu and Emeka Okwuosa, CEO @osltweets attended the flag-off ceremony for the construction of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano Gas Pipeline Project (the “AKK Pipeline”), by the President @MBuhari as a consortium partner #AKKProject Image

1/ The pandemic has been very good for robots. Instead of putting humans at risk of contracting and spreading the virus to others, robots are rolled out in all sorts of arenas. ⁣⁣
Here are a few examples of how the world is taking advantage of these technologies. ⁣⁣ Image
2/ In workplaces: Especially in Asia, robots are being used to check in on visitors and employees entering office buildings-taking temperatures, and reminding people to put on masks.
3/ In hospitals: Robots are being used to help disinfect rooms and corridors using UV light and to carry medical supplies around for workers. Hospitals in Belgium have begun using robots to help check in new patients and escort them through the hospital.

1/ Over the past few months in conjunction with our JV partners the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC), we have actively responded to the pandemic through medical and non-medical interventions.
2/ Last week, we commissioned an isolation facility aimed at providing critical infrastructure to curb the spread of #COVID19 within Delta State.
The facility is equipped with a capacity of 70beds, a pharmacy, X-Ray room, side laboratory, power generator, amongst other resources.
3/ Over the years, we have carried out sustainable initiatives in our host communities through various programmes, including access to quality healthcare. Over $130million has been invested executing ~340 projects in the four states where we operate (Bayelsa, Delta, Imo, Rivers)

1/ This year’s #WorldEnvironmentDay theme is “#Biodiversity”.
According to @UN Biodiversity is the foundation that supports all life on land and below water.
Changing, or removing one element of this web affects the entire life system and can produce negative consequences. Image
2/ As a company, we remain committed to a sustainable world which is reflected in our CSR initiatives. A few of these include the retrieval of ~5t of #plastic polluting the five cowry creek waterway, a commitment to #reducing, #reusing & #recycling our waste.
3/ Last year, we recycled 1373.7kg of waste with the intention to reduce these figures over time. We have also empowered over 38,550 farmers in over 120 communities with the aim of contributing to conservation & sustainable use of #biodiversity through agriculture.
