The statement said the ambulances were donated by Total Upstream Nigeria Limited (TUPNI) and its OML 13 partners; the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), South Atlantic Petroleum, China National Offshore Oil Company Nigeria and Prime.
It said the ambulances and vehicle documents were formally handed over by the General Manager, Corporate Social Responsibility, Total, Mr Ajukwura Wokomah to Mr Anthony Prezr, Director of Administration, DELSUTH at the company’s office in Lagos.
Wokomah pledged Total’s commitment to CSR activities especially in the health sector.
