Nigeria Restores Immigration Documents of Seplat CEO

By Moses Patience Chat

The Management of Seplat Energy on Tuesday announced that the Ministry of Interior and the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) have restored the Work Permit, Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Aliens Card (CERPAC), and other Visas for the entry or stay  in Nigeria of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. Roger Brown. 

The announcement was made by Mr. Basil Omiyi, the Independent Chairman of Seplat Energy, in accordance with Rule 17.10 of the Rulebook of the Nigerian Exchange of 2015.

The Company had previously announced that the immigration documents were withdrawn by the Ministry, following false allegations of racism, unfair prejudice, discrimination, and improper immigration status made by certain individuals parading as “concerned workers and stakeholders of Seplat Energy Plc”. 

However, during this period of allegations, Seplat Energy cooperated fully with verifications conducted by the Immigration Authorities, which resulted in the restored immigration status of Mr Brown.

According to the energy giant, in view of the restored immigration documents, Mr. Brown can now validly enter, work, and stay in Nigeria and has currently resumed his position as CEO of Seplat Energy, and that the Company continues to make strong strides in delivering its 2023 operational targets.
