Nwuche asserted that being an indigene of the Niger Delta himself, at Montego Upstream Services Ltd,    it was important for the company to not only carry out its business operations in a socially responsible manner, but to ensure that it positively impacts the communities in which it operates.

Speaking on behalf of Igbeku Community, the Community Liaison Officer, Mr. Godwin Kebuge and the Community Light Committee Chairman, Mr. Felix Ipemu both expressed pleasure at the manner in which Montego Upstream Services Ltd. has shown support to the community by providing the electricity transformer, the scholarship award, among other developmental and commendable projects the company was carrying out within the community.

Expressing gratitude to Montego Upstream Services Limited for the scholarship award,  Enughure, a student of University of Port Harcourt said  that due to financial difficulty, it had been stressful for his family to sponsor his higher education, but    the scholarship would ease that burden.

Expressing the same sentiment, Idegbe, the second scholarship recipient said  the scholarship will go a long way in helping her realize her dream of graduating with a degree in Microbiology.
