Ubong could no longer endure the excruciating pain from the itch on his back. He had to report to the sickbay that morning, and after some examinations, the company nurse, Blessing, informed him that the rash on his back was a symptom of scabies, and he needed to take a few days off for his treatment and also to disinfect his personal belongings.
Three days later, Blessing had two more cases of scabies from Ubong’s colleagues, Idorenyin and Prince. These new cases prompted the nurse to begin an investigation into the origin of the spread.
From her enquiry, she discovered that Idorenyin and Prince had, at some point, worn Ubong’s PPE, and got infected from it.
If you were in Blessing’s position, what would be your recommendation to the company to help prevent the disease from spreading to other employees.

The eye is a very vital human organ which must be protected with caution.
At the workplace, there are situations that pose hazards to employees.
Such situations include the following:
a. working with a bright monitor or laptop
b. Not wearing safety goggles when hammering, sandblasting, and welding.
To avoid developing an eye problem in the future, it’s important for you to learn how to regulate the light intensity of your monitors and laptops to prevent your retina from being badly affected.
Also endeavour to ensure that suitable safety goggles are provided to personnel who are undertaking hammering, sandblasting or welding tasks.
Finally, it is important to know that there are substandard safety goggles on the market. To avoid purchasing such inferior goggles, check to see that the goggles have ANSI and Z-87 stamp on them. If they do not have such stamps, you will be risking your precious eyesight by using such inferior products.

The CEO of Kenyon International West Africa Company Limited, Victor Ekpenyong, at the just concluded Oloibiri Lecture Series and Energy Forum held on the 31st of March 2022, has proposed that deploying an idle well management strategy and remote well control are the two key solutions to combating oil theft which can equally maximise oil production to increase revenue and facilitate Nigeria’s energy transition.
The lecture which took place at PTDF Towers, CBD in Abuja was themed ‘Global Energy Transition: Implications on Future Investments in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry’ and attended by industry dignitaries.
In Victor Ekpenyong’s opening remark, he stated that oil theft has been the bane of our economy as it had led to loss of revenue and environmental pollution; and since oil accounts for the major source of revenue in Nigeria, it behooves the federal government to maximise its oil production through putting measures that deters oil theft and vandalism.
In his speech, he explained that an idle well management strategy will enable a well to be decommissioned safely to protect it from being vandalised and restore an abandoned well to full potential when necessary while remote well control is a technology that can be deployed to protect oilfields facilities and environment from hazards such as blowouts.
Victor Ekpenyong appealed to the federal government to integrate the idle well management strategy and remote well control to help reduce the number of emerging idle wells and boost oil production which can in turn help fund and facilitate a smooth transition into a clean energy.
