STUDENTS TO CREATE PETROMIN LOGO

Petromin PNG Holdings recently launched a nationwide competition
among school children to design the Petromin Logo.
The launching of the competition was at Kila Kila High School.
Mr Uke Kombra & staff of the Dept of Education, Mr Melvin Yalapan - Board Member & Company Secretary, Mr Kalinoe - MD/CEO of Petromin, Principals and Head Teachers of participating schools in the NCD, and media representatives were present.
Here is text from Petromin acting Petroleum Manager Bernard Pawih Speech at the Launching
...............................
Firstly, I would like to apologize for the deferral of this launching from last week. However, thank you for making time to attend today’s occasion.
Today is a very special day for all of us. It marks the launching of the Petromin Logo Competition. Petromin stands for petroleum (oil/gas) and minerals; it belongs to the 6 million people of PNG and is mandated to hold and manage the State’s interest in mining and petroleum resource projects.
Since the establishment of Petromin Holdings Ltd through the passing of the Petromin Authorization Act by Parliament early this year, very little is known about the company. We hear and read press statements about this company in the media in recent times; most of these media releases are negative comments or perceptions of the public.
Because of these negative perceptions, we in Petromin have decided to launch our PR or public awareness starting with the Logo Competition targeting the Schools and our youths who will be our future leaders. Hope the Schools & students taking part in the competition will learn/gain some understanding about Petromin through this Logo competition.
We have selected this venue, Kilakila Secondary School to launch this competition because it is the closest secondary school to the Petromin office, which is located on 2 mile hill at the PVA.
Finally, I would like to thank the Principal, staff and students of Kilakila Secondary School for agreeing to host this launching.
