“I wish to assure that the company’s Corporate Social Responsibilities [CSR] initiatives would be stepped up .The initiatives underscore the fact that we care for host communities and not just the bottom line.
Doing a review of his administration at NIPCO, Teotia said; “Since my assumption of duty as the helmsman in January 2017, I am particularly happy of the crop of employees and other stakeholders that I have worked with.
“As employees of the company, you remain the backbone of the organization pitched against the background that a company stands and works efficiently proportionate to the output of its employees.
“Nipco’s performance during the year is a testimony to the growing faith in me and the entire Management team, even as I wish to intimate you that your contribution is pivotal to the company’s success.
