LAGOS (AFX) – Energy giant Royal Dutch Shell said it has appointed new heads to oversee its African and Nigerian operations as part of a global restructuring process.
A company statement sent to AFP here said Ann Pickard had been appointed as executive vice president for Africa.
Pickard will be based in Lagos and she will succeed Chris Finlayson, who is moving to Russia as executive vice president of Shell’s exploration and production business, it said.
Nigerian-born Basil Omiyi was appointed the country chairman of all Shell subsidiaries in Nigeria. He was formerly the managing director of Shell Petroleum Development Company.
Shell is Nigeria’s largest foreign oil operator, accounting for almost half of the west African country’s daily exports of 2.5 mln barrels.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. 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.
