The Managing Director of Shell Petroleum Development Company Limited (SPDC) and Chairman of Shell Companies in Nigeria, Osagie Okunbor, shared an optimistic outlook on the future of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry during a panel session at the just concluded Nigeria Economic Summit in Abuja.
Speaking on the theme “Fuelling Growth: The Future of Oil and Gas,” Okunbor addressed concerns surrounding the industry, stressing it is far from declining. “With the enactment of the Petroleum Industry Act and other supporting regulations, the industry is in a much better place,” he remarked.
