Barkindo stabilised global energy market in most volatile periods ― APPO

The Secretary-General, African Petroleum Producers’ Organisation (APPO), Dr Omar Farouk Ibrahim, on Thursday, disclosed that the deceased Secretary-General of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Dr Mohammed Barkindo had while alive helped in stabilising the global energy market at the most volatile period.

Ibrahim made the remarks while condoling with President Muhammadu Buhari on the passing of the former NNPC chief.

In a letter of condolence to the President, APPO Secretary-General described the death of Barkindo as a huge loss to his family, Nigeria, Africa, the OPEC family, the global oil and gas industry and the President of Nigeria, who he publicly acknowledged as a great source of inspiration, guidance and wisdom.

‘‘As Secretary-General of OPEC and a key driver of the OPEC+ alliance, Barkindo’s contribution to the stabilisation of the global oil industry from 2016 and especially during COVID-19 will always be remembered.

‘‘Barkindo succeeded in raising the profile of OPEC as a stabiliser of the global energy market at the most volatile periods in the Organisation’s history,’’ the Brazzaville-based Organisation wrote in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.

APPO prayed that the Almighty God grant the Barkindo family, loved ones and the President the fortitude to bear the huge loss of the great ambassador of Nigeria to the global energy community.
