SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, (THEWILL) – The Board of Directors of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited, NLNG, on Thursday approved the appointment of a former managing director of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company, Tony Attah, as the Chief Executive Officer of the company. He takes over from Babs Omotowa, who has been in office since December 2011.
This was announced in a statement issued by the company’s General Manager, External Relations, Kudo Eresia-Eke, which stated that Omotowa will be returning to Shell International in The Hague, Netherlands.
According to the statement, “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.”
The NLNG said Omotowa, who has held the position for nearly five years, would be sorely missed for his uncommon vision, professionalism, compassion and commitment.
