Nigeria Sees Objections to Shell Oil Asset Sale Resolved Soon

Nigeria’s upstream oil regulator found some issues with Shell’s proposed sale of its onshore assets to a consortium of local companies but they should be resolved soon, said Olu Verheijen , President Bola Tinubu’s special adviser on energy.

“I am sure that in short order it will be resolved with the regulator in a way that addresses our own objectives to continue to accelerate exits for international oil companies,” Verheijen said during a call with the energy reporters’ association on Wednesday.
