Tinubu Receives Shell Upstream Director Yujnovich in Abuja

President Bola Tinubu has met with the Shell Global Upstream Director, Ms Zoë Yujnovich, at the State House, Abuja.

Also at the meeting on Monday was the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), Mele Kyari.

The meeting is President Tinubu’s first official engagement since resuming office after the Sallah festivities and his foreign trips to Paris and London since June 20. 

Yujnovich, who assumed office as Upstream Director on July 1, 2023 has been a member of the Shell Executive Committee since 2021. 

She arrived at the State House in the company of three other Shell officials at about 11:45 am and was ushered into the President’s office complex for the meeting scheduled for 12:00 noon. 

The meeting, it was gathered, was part of ongoing consultations with leaders from the oil and gas sector since Tinubu’s administration came on board. 

It’s also part of ongoing consultations with leaders from the oil and gas sector since the present government removed petroleum subsidy on May 29. 

The President had previously met with the Exxon Mobil Executives, Mr. Liam Mallon, Mr. Richard Laing and Mrs. Adesua Dozie – at the State House.

He also met with other key figures from the oil-rich Niger Delta region, including former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Timi Alaibe and former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Dr Dakuku Peterside.
