British multinational energy and petrochemical company Shell PLC has appointed Elohor Aiboni as Executive Vice President and Country Chair for Nigeria. Effective since August 1, she succeeds Dutch executive Marno de Jong.

Her appointment is historic on two counts: Elohor Aiboni is now the first Nigerian national and the first woman, to hold the combined EVP and Country Chair role overseeing all of Shell’s operations in Nigeria.

Reflecting on the appointment, Aiboni said: “I’m excited about the opportunity to continue contributing to the efficient delivery of Shell’s business in Nigeria and thereby power progress in a country where we have been present for more than 60 years. Marno has led with his heart over the past six years, sustaining operations and breaking new ground in project delivery and growth. It is a legacy I am keen to build on with the support of colleagues and other stakeholders.”

De Jong, for his part, expressed confidence in his successor, saying: “I’m grateful for the support I have enjoyed since my time in Nigeria which has enabled us to achieve progress on many fronts. I leave with fond memories of warm friendships and strong support from colleagues in Shell and our partners.”

Congratulations Elohor Aiboni! ❤️.
