Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited has joined the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP), a global organization that shares best practices and data on health, safety, environment, and operations.
The development was announced in London by IOGP, making Renaissance the third Nigerian company and fourth in Africa to be welcomed into the association.
The CEO of IOGP, Graham Henley, expressed delight in welcoming Renaissance to the organisation, citing the company’s expertise and insights.
Henley stated, “I am delighted to welcome Renaissance Africa Energy Company to IOGP.
”Having worked in Nigeria some years ago, I understand both their challenges but also the tremendous expertise and insights that they have to share.”
The Managing Director and CEO of Renaissance, Tony Attah, said, “We are very glad to have become a member company of the IOGP, barely five months since we completed the acquisition of Shell shares in the defunct Shell Petroleum Development Company.
”This is another milestone in our strategy to unleash a new beginning that enables energy security and industrialization in a sustainable manner”, he added.
Attah further emphasised that Renaissance is poised to set a standard for the oil and gas industry in Nigeria and across the continent.
He also encouraged other stakeholders in the industry to emulate Renaissance’s vision and courage and to adhere to global standards represented by IOGP.
Renaissance’s General Manager Safety and Environment, Engineer Elozino Olaniyan, expressed excitement at the achievement, highlighting the company’s commitment to operate in line with global best practices.
Olaniyan stated, “This is a very important endorsement of the high standards that Renaissance has started its operations with.
”We are delighted as it highlights our commitment to operate in line with global best practices across the entire value chain of our operations.”
Olaniyan emphasised that Renaissance’s membership in IOGP presented an opportunity for Nigerians to drive industrialization, job creation, and overall economic growth.
She said, “Renaissance is working with renewed commitment to excellence, and presents an opportunity for Nigerians to drive industrialization that would ultimately translate into job creation and overall economic growth.”
