Board announcement
Lagos and London - 17 November 2021 : Seplat Energy plc today
announces that its co-founder and pioneer Chairman, Dr. A.B.C.
Orjiako has decided to step down as Chairman and from the Board of
Directors of Seplat Energy Plc at the next Annual General Meeting
(AGM) in May 2022. In order to ensure an orderly transition, Dr
A.B.C. Orjiako will remain the Chairman of Seplat Energy until the
AGM, when he will be succeeded by an Independent Chairperson in
line with Seplat Energy's succession plan.
As Chairman of the Group since 2009, Dr. Orjiako has led the
transformation of Seplat into a globally respected energy Company.
Notable achievements include instilling best practice corporate
governance, and significant growth through several successful
acquisitions. He was also the driving force behind Seplat Energy
becoming the first and only Nigerian corporate to dual list on the
Nigerian Exchange and the Main Board of the London Stock Exchange
in 2014.
The Board thanks its Chairman for his strategic vision, drive
and limitless energy to create and Chair the Board of Nigeria's
leading Indigenous Independent Energy Company.
Dr. A.B.C. Orjiako, Chairman of Seplat Energy plc, commented
today:
"The past twelve years of Seplat Energy's existence have been
phenomenal for me. As Chairman, I am proud that the Board,
Management and entire Staff of Seplat Energy, were able to achieve
several enviable milestones and exceptional successes, notably the
acquisition of eight oil and gas assets, expansion of the Oben and
development of the ANOH gas plants and the dual listing on both the
Nigerian and London Stock Exchanges, a first by a Nigerian company.
While there were challenges along the way, we overcame these by the
special grace of God, the outstanding performance and
professionalism of each member of the Board and Management and the
sterling efforts of our Staff. I will continue to give my utmost
energy and commitment to the Company until I step down from the
Board at the next AGM."
Mr. Basil Omiyi, Senior Independent Director of Seplat Energy
plc, commented today:
"On behalf of all members of the Board, I would like to thank Dr
A.B.C. Orjiako for his immense contribution as a co-founder and
Chair of Seplat Energy since inception. He has been Chairman during
exciting times and his dedication has been constant throughout. The
Board looks forward to working with him during the transition
period and we will miss his insight, expertise and leadership when
he finally steps down in May 2022."
