The board chairman of Seplat Energy Plc, Udo Udoma, says the company is committed to partnering with the Akwa Ibom government to drive sustainable development in the state.

Mr Udoma stated this in Uyo when he led a delegation of the company’s leadership to visit Governor Umo Eno.

He told the governor that Seplat Energy Offshore Limited had recently completed the acquisition of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited.

Mr Udoma said the company would now be known as Seplat Energy Producing Nigeria Unlimited and retain all previous firm’s assets and liabilities.

“As a leading indigenous oil and gas producer, we have a commitment to partner with the Akwa Ibom Government to ensure sustainable development in the state.

“Our objective is to significantly contribute towards meeting Nigeria’s strategic oil and gas aspirations while supporting the socio-economic development of the state,” he said.

Mr Udoma expressed confidence that the company would bring significant economic and social benefits to the state and its host communities through strong partnerships and shared goals.

Mr Eno commended the delegation for the visit and assured them of the state government’s unwavering support and commitment to creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

He expressed hope that the collaboration between the state government and SEPNU would yield tangible benefits for the people.

“We are confident that this partnership would also boost the local economy and promote sustainable development,” Mr Eno said.
