Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has mourned the death of the Secretary-General of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Mohammed Barkindo.<\/p>\n

Lawan describes the sudden death of Barkindo, who was to conclude his second term at OPEC at the end of July, as tragic.<\/p>\n

The Senate President described Barkindo\u2019s leadership of the global oil cartel as exemplary, noting that the deceased worked assiduously to build cooperation between OPEC and non-OPEC countries to save the energy market at a time of a global crisis.<\/p>\n

Lawan says Barkindo\u2019s pragmatic approach and hard work at the critical time brought stability to the volatile oil market.<\/p>\n

The Senate President said Barkindo\u2019s stewardship at OPEC made him a pride for Nigeria and Africa, adding that his death is a monumental loss to Nigeria, the world and particularly to the global energy community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe news of the tragic death of OPEC Secretary-General, Mohammed Barkindo, came to me as a rude shock.<\/p>\n

\u201cBarkindo\u2019s exemplary leadership at the global oil cartel brought stability to the ever-volatile oil market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world will remember him for how he was able to rally both the OPEC and non-OPEC members together to save the energy market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world will miss him and particularly the global energy community,\u201d Lawan says.<\/p>\n

The Senate President also condoled the Government and people of Adamawa State over the great loss.<\/p>\n

\u201dLawan prays Allah to forgive the sins of the departed and accept his soul into Aljannah Firdaus\u201d.<\/p>\n
