The Board of Directors of the Nigeria LNG Limited on Thursday approved the appointment of Mr. Tony Attah as the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company.

Mr. Babs Omotowa, who has held the position for nearly five years, will be returning to Shell International in the Hague, ‎Netherlands, according to a statement signed by the company’s General Manager, External Relations, Kudo Eresia-Eke.

The NLNG said Omotowa, who was appointed CEO by the board in December 2011, would be sorely missed for his uncommon vision, professionalism, compassion and commitment.

It said Attah, a former managing director of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company, would be taking over from him after returning from an assignment at Shell’s Group Integrated Gas business as senior projects advisor, working on projects in the Netherlands and Singapore.

Attah comes to the NLNG with a 28-year experience in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, the statement said.

At NLNG, he will be responsible for sustaining NLNG’s top quartile performance in supplying liquefied natural gas to the global energy market and advancing the company’s expansion programmes, according to the statement.

NLNG is owned by four shareholders, namely, the Federal Government, represented by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (49 per cent), Shell Gas BV, (25.6 per cent), Total LNG Nigeria Limited (15 per cent), and Eni International (N.A,) N. V. S. a. r. l (10.4 per cent).

What concerns a respectable company like NLNG with whether or not the CEO is a northerner? It is a JV for crying out loud. Like CNL, MPN, TEPNG and SPDC. By the way, it is quite common to find Shell executives become NLNG MD.

Chai!!

Your own dullardhood is on a higher level than Buhari own

So in your mind, na FG dey appoint CEO/MD for NLNG?

Chai! Who will save Nigerian youths from their gross illiteracy and refusal to get real useful information in this internet age?

This is bad!!

Anyway, Shell is the operator of the NLNG and they always produce the MD/CEO.


See another dullard youth that will abuse northerners as illiterates

todayboy:
The new md is from minority north of Kogi state

Northernization continues

Na you dem for appoint?

Don't mind them pls. Actually, Shell as the operator of the NLNG always produces the CEO. Infact they used to be Britons till maybe Babs Omotowa or the one before him.

Congrats to Mr Attah the new helmsman

The new md is from minority north of Kogi state

Northernization continues

He is from Kogi state
Kogi and Keats state is regarded as minority north

You should have allowed the person I quoted to respond. If shell and other JVC partners had appointed a northerner, wailers would have descended heavily on Buhari without caring to know whether there is a JVC arrangement or not. They will come up with so many funny arguments about how Buhari planted another northerner in NLNG in order to islamise the entire oil and gas sector. So bro, I know what I am talking about. That guy is terribly disappointed.

don't mind the mumu haters.

Hate has killed every active cell in their thinking faculty.

Infact they were angry seeing Theresa May, the new UK prime minister kneeling to greet the queen yesterday. They thought Tinubu don impose Yoruba culture on the British

Ha ha. Everybody calm down. Tony Attah is a jolly good fellow from Kogi State in North Central Nigeria. He was nominated by Shell and Shell always produces the MD of NLNG while other JV partners produce other positions. Just relax and all shall be well!

ok

Your redemption is far off!

He was there to serve the interest of Shell and will be resuming with them.
Diezani also came from Shell and because of that she cant be prosecuted as Shell will shield her like they have done in London

All these appointments should keep coming in o. One of them sure has everything to do with me God knows.

The NLNG is a Joint Venture and the Federal Government can't unilaterally appoint the CEO. It merely has a holding interest. The technical partners are responsible for operational activities.

Even if it was a Northerner that was appointed, it would fall outside the 'northernisation' of our country's commonwealth

Thus, Your Honour, on this charge Mr. Buhari is not guilty.
