Solomon Ewanehi : Building strong reputation for excellence

Mr. Solomon Ewanehi is the Group Chief Executive Officer of Solewant Group. Solewant provides support to the oil, gas, water, chemical processing, mining, refining, transportation and marine industries.

During the past 22 years, the group has built a strong reputation of excellence in not only offering its clients top-notch customer service but with a record of helping the clients to focus on their business success.

Shell Nigeria, NGC, ExxonMobil Nigeria, Total, NAOC, EHGC, Westfield, Morpol Engineering, Ascot, DTO, Port Harcourt Refinery, Indorama Petrochemical Industry, are just a few of the major clients loyal to Solewant.

The group had also earlier invested $200 million in the expansion of its automated Longitudinal Submerged Arc-Welding (LSAW) pipe milling plant to meet Africa’s standard steel pipe needs

Ewanehi, strongly advocates that the participation of Nigerian companies in  local content should be viewed from the prism of competence and not patronage as seen in some quarters.

Ewanehi noted that Nigeria has over the years suffered from inadequate local capacity in the water, oil and gas industry, particularly in the areas of in-country value addition and production of tubular goods.

To address the gap, Ewanehi, said the company set up her Industrial Area to drive local content and provide direct impetus to the existing water, oil and gas laws and regulations that support local content development.

He has therefore developed his competence and that of his company as dependable service providers in the oil and gas industry offering top notch services.
