Board Chairman of Seplat Energy Pls,Dr.ABC Orjiako,says hardwork and resilience was responsible for  the awards given him and the company at the Energy & Corporate Africa Leadership Award Night/Dinner  in United States of America.

The award was the climax of the Annual Sub-Saharan Africa Oil/Gas Conference that started from 12th August to 13th August with the theme: The Future of Upstream, Advancing Digitalization and Gas Development Options in Sub-Saharan Africa.  Dr. Orjiako delivered the keynote address at the event.

Seplat was recognized as the largest indigenous domestic supplier of gas whilst Dr. Orjiako won the top indigenous entrepreneur award in the energy sector.

Speaking on the awards, Dr. Orjiako, on behalf of the Board, management and staff of the Company, thanked Energy & Corporate Africa, the organisers of the events, for the honour and recognition accorded the Company and himself.

 He expressed the company’s appreciation, saying the awards highlight the hard work and resilience consistently displayed over time.

He added: “Since inception, Seplat has continued to strive for operational excellence and sustainable value creation for all our stakeholders. The awards will continue to propel us to greater achievements”.

 Orjiako’s keynote address at the confab brought to the fore statistics highlighting the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region as an excellent hub for future upstream growth with opportunities and a ready market for diversification into other allied areas such as refining, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and power.

He implored  Africans and foreign investors  to harness the growth potential of African developing countries to boost development and global growth. He added that the challenges of SSA present a significant opportunity for those seeking returns.

He also urged energy corporations to show responsibility in neutralising their respective emission footprints and sign up for climate change policies to protect the environment.

The Seplat Energy Chairman said that as the world moves toward energy transition with Climate Change/ESG Advocacy/Policy Changes dominating the energy discussion, gas will continue to play an increasingly important role.

He affirmed that the new way of thinking had led the Company to change its name from Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc to Seplat Energy Plc.

He added: “Our unique business direction reflects our renewed focus on the entire energy value chain while incorporating cleaner and more sustainable forms of energy to power Nigeria / Africa’s present and future demand.”
