Energia Limited has appointed Oladimeji Bashorun as its Chief Executive Officer, following the exit of Chidi Egonu.
The company disclosed that Bashorun, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer, will take over leadership after overseeing operations and contributing to the firm’s strategic direction in recent years.
Bashorun brings over two decades of experience in the oil and gas sector, having held technical and leadership roles at Shell Petroleum Development Company and Sahara Upstream before joining Energia. His experience spans operations management, asset performance and production stability.
Chairman of Energia, George Osahon, said the appointment reflects the board’s confidence in Bashorun’s leadership and understanding of the company’s operations.
“Oladimeji Bashorun has demonstrated exceptional leadership and deep industry expertise during his time as Chief Operating Officer. His commitment to operational excellence and strategic growth has been instrumental to Energia’s progress. The Board is confident that under his leadership as the Chief Executive Officer, the Company will continue to strengthen its position as a key player in the industry, while delivering sustained value to its stakeholders,” Osahon said.
In his acceptance, Bashorun said, “I am honoured to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of Energia. Working closely with a talented team that drives the company’s success, I look forward to building on our achievements and advancing Energia’s commitment to operational excellence, responsible energy development, and value creation for our stakeholders.”
The leadership change comes as Energia seeks to sustain operational performance and pursue growth opportunities in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, amid ongoing industry pressures around output stability and energy security.
