Ceremony Marks The Launch Of Refurbishment Works On New Life Ministries | |
On Wednesday August
20th NGC, Petrotrin and PPGPL gathered at Mt. St. Benedict
for a dual celebration: first to mark the start of
refurbishment works of New Life Ministries (NLM)
Rehabilitation Centre and second to pay tribute and honour a
remarkable son of the soil – Chiang Keith Awong, former
Chairman of both NGC and PPGPL and also a former CEO of Petrotrin. A chemical engineer by training, Mr. Awong held
some of the key positions in the energy sector for over 40
years. His vision for the companies under his leadership was
far reaching, and in recognition of his service he was
awarded, in 2005, the Chaconia Medal (Gold) for national
development. It is therefore not surprising that this social
project which is badly needed in the society would be
dedicated to Mr. Awong. |
For NGC, PPGPL and Petrotrin, the refurbishment and upgrade
of the new life ministries centre was an important
opportunity for the three local energy companies to maximize
the benefits of the energy resources through sustainable
development, meaning that while they sought to get the most
dollars from oil, gas and gas products at the same time they
were seeking to preserve the environment and develop the
people of Trinidad and Tobago who were destroyed by drug
abuse, alcoholism, gambling and eating disorders, among
other social ills. |
