JULY 14, 2016 – Tony Attah, a former managing director of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company, has been appointed as chief executive officer of Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG).
According to a statement issued by Kudo Eresia-Eke, the company’s general manager, external relations, the board of directors of the company approved the appointment on Thursday.
The statement said Babs Omotowa, who has held the position for nearly five years, will be returning to Shell International in the Hague, Netherlands.
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.
“Attah 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,” the statement read.
“Attah comes to the NLNG with a 28-year experience in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
“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.”
