Eroton Exploration and Production Company Nigeria Ltd. has announced the appointment of Mr. Henry Imasekha as its new Board Chairman, effective immediately.

This significant leadership transition follows the retirement of Mr. Onajite Okoloko, who leaves behind a legacy of exceptional service as Chairman. The announcement was made recently in a statement from the company.

In addition to Mr. Okoloko, other long-serving Board members stepping down include Mr. Brume Okoloko, Engineer Charles Odita, and Engineer Emeka Ene, marking a shift in the company’s governance structure.

“We are thrilled to welcome Henry Imasekha as our new Board Chairman. His wealth of experience and expertise will be invaluable in guiding our company’s strategic growth and development,” Dr. Onyeka said.

Mr. Imasekha, a veteran with over four decades of industry experience, has built a reputation for leadership excellence, having held key senior roles and Board positions in various organisations. His career, which began in the banking sector, evolved into an illustrious tenure in private business.

“I am honoured to lead Eroton’s Board of Directors,” said Mr. Imasekha. “My priority will be to enhance the company’s value proposition, foster harmonious relationships with stakeholders, and drive sustainable growth.”

As part of the new leadership era, Eroton also introduced three new Board Directors: Mr. Oboden Ibru, Mr. Chris Okonmah, and Mr. Edo Ukpong. The company acknowledged the dedication of its departing Board members and conveyed its appreciation for their years of service.

“Eroton expresses gratitude to the retiring Board members for their meritorious service and looks forward to the new chapter under Mr. Imasekha’s leadership,” the statement concluded.

This appointment is expected to set the stage for continued innovation and strategic growth at Eroton, reinforcing the company’s commitment to excellence in the energy sector.
