Seplat Energy PLC - Lagos-based oil and gas firm with assets in Nigeria - Says the Nigerian Ministry of Interior & Immigration Service has restored Chief Executive Officer Roger Brown’s working permit and key visas. Brown’s immigration documents had been withdrawn by the ministry in March following allegations of ‘racism, discrimination and improper immigration status’ by some Seplat workers and stakeholders. Says it has ‘cooperated fully’ with the verification checks conducted by the immigration authorities. A lawsuit was filed on April 13 at the Federal High Court in Abuja against the company in relation to Brown’s immigration status, but was withdrawn on April 20.
