The minister of state for Petroleum Resources, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, has said the federal government will consider and approve the agreement reached between Shell and a consortium of five Nigerian companies for divestment of Shell’s onshore assets, when it receives all the necessary documents.

Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland, Lokpobiri affirmed the Nigerian government’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment in the oil and gas sector.

He emphasised that the Nigerian government will not impede legitimate business transactions in the oil and gas sector.

He stated, “On the part of the government, once we get the necessary documents, we will not waste time to give the necessary considerations and consent.

“Responding to concerns about international oil companies (IOCs) diversifying their onshore assets, the minister highlighted the positive aspects of the diversification. He noted that Nigeria loses nothing as such moves create opportunities for indigenous companies with the capacity to acquire and professionally manage these assets, leading to increased profitability and the maximisation of their potential.

Addressing potential negative impacts on the country, Lokpobiri reassured that the diversification would not adversely affect Nigeria. He emphasised the government’s engagement with IOCs regarding the decommissioning of non-productive assets and abandonment issues.

The minister stated that concerns raised by IOCs, particularly with Nigerian banks, have been addressed, assuring a safe environment for the handling of funds related to decommissioning and abandonment.

“As a government, we will adhere to the law without jeopardising legitimate businesses,” he added.

Responding to questions on preventing IOCs from diversifying their upstream operations, the Minister clarified that companies have not left their upstream deepwater assets. Instead, they are diversifying their onshore assets, creating opportunities for local companies with developed capacity and financing to acquire and profitably manage these assets.

The minister reiterated the government’s commitment to addressing sector concerns, including insecurity and ageing infrastructure, such as pipelines.

He highlighted ongoing engagements with companies to invest in pipeline technology and other critical infrastructures within the oil and gas value chain.

Lokpobiri concluded by announcing that the President has approved a licensing bid round, demonstrating the government’s dedication to initiating the process promptly.
