BBC News: Shell names first Nigerian boss
20 July 04
Oil giant Shell has for the first time named a Nigerian to head its operations in Nigeria, one of the world’s biggest oil exporters.
Basil Omiyi, 58, will start work as Shell Nigeria’s managing director in September, after joining the company 34 years ago.
Localisation has been a key demand of Nigeria’s restive oil-workers’ unions.

“I am honoured to be the first of what I expect will be many Nigerians to hold the post. I look forward to the opportunities and challenges which lie ahead,” Mr Omiyi said.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
