The Foreign Operators In Nigeria.

The executives of foreign oil companies operating in Nigeria have been chosen for their capability to work in a difficult country, with state decision makers often changing. Apart from befriending or employing high-minded and dedicated Nigerians who are honest, the foreign executives cannot always afford to be too close to this category of people. They have to be careful in every move they make.

These executives are dealing with a complex combination of Nigerians. Despite the fact that Nigeria now is ruled by a civilian government, which keeps promising that it would stamp out corruption and mismanagement of resources, foreign executives still have to face some greedy or tricky officials at the top of most pyramids. There are powerful figures like former military dictator Babangida behind key officials in the current administration (see above). The following articles are private executives who have proved to have the qualifications required in doing business in Nigeria.
