 Dr Ibe Kachikwu, the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), has commiserated with victims of the helicopter crash at Oworosonki, Lagos, on Wednesday.

A statement by Mr Ohi Alegbe, NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, in Abuja on Thursday said the GMD was touched by the sad news of the crash of the helicopter that was ferrying oil workers from an oil installation offshore.

"This is particularly sad for me because it involves workers in the oil industry who were returning home to their families and friends after a period of hard work. My heart goes to the victims of the crash and their families. It is my prayer that God should give the departed sweet repose. Their families the fortitude and grace to bear the loss, and the lucky survivors speedy recovery," it stated.
