Moss Petroleum International Nigeria Limited is set to launch a high-tech mega oil farm at Koko in Delta State with a leisure, MOSS Charity as well as healthcare centres. The company, which has its subsidiary, MOSS Petroleum Limited in the UK, was registered in Nigeria in 2008.
Speaking to newsmen in Lagos, chairman of the company, Steve Igbinose, said the vision of the company was to become a worldwide energy company committed to delivering innovation and excellence to the petroleum industry, soon after it comes on stream.
He said the era of host communities being neglected by oil firms in their domain would be over because according him, “I and my co-investors have come to do oil business in Nigeria with absolute transparency. We will not go the same way of other existing oil firms, which is what will make MOSS Petroleum to stand out among the existing oil firms in the Nigerian Oil and Gas sector.”
“Ours shall not be a take-take thing; rather it shall be a take and give business because, with the MOSS Charity, which will be an offshoot of Moss Petroleum in place, the needs of the Koko community and its environs shall be attended to. We shall provide jobs, health care and other services to the people,” he said.
Koko is an oil rich community in the Delta South Local Government Area of Delta state. Igbinose said the firm had already acquired vast land from the community, adding that a Lagos based construction firm, KOK Ventures Limited has already completed the approved design and development plan of the firm.
Also speaking, the Project Manager of KOK Ventures, Mr. A Ajiboye, said Moss Petroleum International project would be a massive construction.

He said the proposed project would comprise six mega storage tanks, two each for PMS, AGO and DPK; ultra-modern administrative block, modern international standard fire fighting department and an eatery among others.
On the choice of Koko as the site of the project, Igbinose said:
“After proper analysis of the current business environment, we decided to site the project outside the already hugely congested Lagos Port. Other advantages which the sites present are that the Benin River will allow for quick, easy access for bulk loading and unloading; 99 per cent of Nigeria’s oil is produced in Delta State and major oil companies are also now relocating to Delta State. And the issue of transport costs, access and technology delivery will place us at a competitive advantage due to our proximity to the entire east, south and even the northern parts of the country.”
He also said the project would be a 60,000 cubic metre petroleum storage tank and a loading gaunt with six automated high speed product pumps with the ability to discharge about 150,000 litres of product per hour.
A co-investor who is British, Neoclis Neocleous, said his decision to partner a Nigerian was based on long-time relationship that had existed between them over the years. He also expressed disappointment over the level of misrepresentation of Nigeria in the western media saying that Nigeria was a beautiful country, but over there in Europe, it is portrayed as a country where citizens live in trees.
Also speaking, another London based Jamaican, Garey Reid, explained that he never knew that Nigeria was such a nice country with beautiful places around. He said he would be more involved in the proposed leisure centre and wellness aspect of the project because that was his specialty.
