Midwestern Oil & Gas Company Limited has achieved a historic milestone with the appointment of Engr. (Mrs.) Elozino Olaniyan as its first female Managing Director and CEO, effective December 1, 2025.
This landmark transition signals a “new era of inclusive leadership” for the indigenous operator, specifically addressing long-standing gender gaps in the executive suite of Nigeria’s male-dominated upstream sector.
Beyond the CEO role, the appointment coincides with a broader board reconstitution designed to entrench governance discipline, reinforcing the company’s commitment to gender diversity and merit-based representation at the highest levels of corporate decision-making
