Pioneer Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Chief Festus Marinho, Wednesday visited the corporation and expressed happiness seeing his dreams for the corporation come into fruition.
Octogenarian Marinho was the first Managing Director of the then Nigerian National Oil Corporation (NNOC), the forerunner of NNPC.
Marinho was twice the managing director of the corporation, serving from 1977-1979 and from 1984-1985, both periods when the incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari, was Petroleum Commissioner and the Head of State respectively.
