This is definitely not the best of times for Alhaji Mohammed Ndimi, the Borno State, Maiduguri-born billionaire owner of Oriental Energy Resources Limited and a major player in the United Kingdom-listed independent oil and gas producers, Afren Plc.
Alhaji Ndimi is the father-in-law of the first son of ex-president Ibrahim Babangida, Mohammed, and the billionaire oil player is now running from pillar to post to salvage what is now left of his business empire, which is gradually sliding into ruins as a result of the huge debt portfolio of the oil and gas industry.
Sources revealed that what probably led to the mountainous debts could be traced to the excessive greed on the part of the directors of Oriental Energy Resources made up of Ahmed Ndimi, Mustafa Ndimi, Aminat Ndimi-Fodio and Yakolo Ndimi-Babangida.
