Our Philosophy

Our Company has deep passion for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) both to our host communities and the nation at large. Our records in this area are unassailable. We are involved in the establishment of schools, provision of health and safety services, childcare and women empowerment.

Education

Today’s young people are tomorrow’s business leaders.
As part of our CSR activities, we had identified St. Augustine Primary School, Ikot Omin, Calabar, Cross River State for adoption. In a matter of years, the school has been transformed from a rural primary school with a dearth of facilities into a modern learning centre. We built and commissioned a block of twelve (12) classrooms and a separate block of lavatories in the school. We went further by renovating three (3) blocks of six classrooms in the school with a borehole to provide potable water for the exclusive use of the school community. All these were complemented with a perimeter fence round the school compound.

Security

Support to the security in Lagos, Cross River and Delta States
Security and Safety is part of who we are as a business: Lagos State– We donated brand new fully equipped operational vans to the state command and the Zone 2 Headquarters, Onikan.  Delta State – We donated brand new fully equipped operational vans to the state command.  Cross River State – We donated brand new fully equipped operational vans to the state command. We constructed a modern Police Post within the St. Augustine school community. This was upgraded to a police station at the commissioning in 2012 and has now been further upgraded to a divisional headquarters.

Humanitarian

Orphanages & Centre for Physically Challenged babies & Aged homes.Northwest Petroleum supports orphanages across the nation. In particular, we support the activities of the African International Baby Care Initiative (AFRI BABY), Lagos – an Initiative geared towards providing care to orphanages and centers for physically challenged babies.
We recently donated a brand new bus to the Infant Jesus Orphanage (Calabar, Cross River State). We support the Infant Jesus orphanage and the Pope John Paul II Good Samaritan home, a home for the aged in the Calabar community. We also provided a brand new 32-seater Coaster Bus to Destiny's Child Centre (DCC), Calabar, Cross River State, a Resettlement Home Initiative of Mrs. Obioma Liyel-Imoke, the wife of the former Governor of Cross River State.

Other CSR Initiatives

Our commitment to the community goes even further. We also reach out to many not-for–profit organisations including but not limited to: • The Hallmarks of Labour Foundation • The Bridge Leadership Foundation • The GABASAWA Women & Children Empowerment Initiative • The Lagos State Mobile Cancer Centre programme • Lagos State Domestic & Sexual Violence Response Team • Numerous religious organizations across faith
Furthermore, we donated a borehole to provide potable water to the Mfamosing Community in Cross River State.
Professional Bodies
Supporting the activities of professional bodies in Nigeria is also on our CSR agenda. We have, at various times, funded the activities of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), which is geared toward the enhancement of professional accounting in Nigeria. We contribute to the Institute’s yearly Accountants Conference and Award, and make it obligatory to register our qualified staff for the yearly ICAN Conference. We have also supported the Nigerian Bar Association (Lagos Branch), Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) in their activities.

Community Relations

We have a dedicated Community Liaison Officer, an indigene who is the interface between our Company and the Communities. This engenders seamless and fruitful relationships with the Communities. We also reserve a certain percentage of our job openings for those qualified within the communities, doing our best to employ as many local people as we can.
