ConocoPhilips Oil Company Ltd holds 20 per cent non-operating interest in Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) 60, 61, 62, and 63 as well as related infrastructure and facilities in the Nigerian Agip Oil Company Joint Venture (NAOC JV) Ltd.

$1.5Billion is not N2.3 trillion. It is N230 Billion. The mistake you made is valued at N2.07trillion equivalent to $13.52 Billion. Thats a ridiculous mistake that should ban a writer from holding a pen for life. 26 Likes |

Nice one. I hope they won't lay off some of the current staff of ConocoPhillips. I also hope this will create like 500 employment spaces for graduate trainees. |

These foreign company divestitures are not necessarily good indications. The energy industry is still very active and continual sell offs in any region usually indicates unfavorable business environment or uninsurable risks. Let's hope the local content initiative and indigenous ownership can be steered rightly for local growth. 6 Likes |

$1.5 billion dollars exchange for 2.43 trillion Naira ? Does it mean the writer doesn't know the current exchange rate ? It is a shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia,apathy and complacence, generally stuck in a big stagnant mediocrity. 2 Likes |

Mods, correct this nonsense abeg. $1.5b should be roughly N240b, NOT 2.3trillion. No be so our dear Naira don useless reach. N2.3 trillion should be approximately $15b. . . .Oando's entire operations and asset-base (including Bola Thifinubu's stake) is not worth anywhere near that sum. 3 Likes |

Nihilist: Why the hell is this on the frontpage?Because they are a wholly owned Nigerian/African company that are attempting to take full control of the oil & energy industry so we don't have to rely on racist foreigners that just want to come here and take our oil and resources back to their lands, while we are left with nothing but corrupt politicians spending our money on houses in Switzerland. 3 Likes |
