According to a statement by Renaissance spokesperson Michael Adande, Graham Henley, the chief executive officer of IOGP, announced this in London.

"I am delighted to welcome Renaissance Africa Energy Company to IOGP. Having worked in Nigeria some years ago, I understand their challenges and the tremendous expertise and insights that they have to share.

I look forward to welcoming Renaissance Africa Energy Company to our committees and subcommittees soon," Henley said.

Speaking about Renaissance's membership of the IOGP, the company's managing director, Tony Attah, said, "We are very glad to have become a member company of the IOGP, barely five months after 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 industrialisation in a sustainable manner."

Renaissance's general manager, safety and environment representative to IOGP, Elozino Olaniyan, expressed the operator's excitement at the achievement.
