Mira Resources Corp. has announced the resignation of Mohammed Asibelua as Chairman and Director, effective immediately.
Asibelua, a prominent Nigerian businessman and energy investor, joined Mira’s board in 2011 as part of the company’s strategic push into West Africa’s oil and gas sector. His tenure saw Mira strengthen its position in Nigeria, particularly through its work on the TSB Field in OPL 276.
Mira has not disclosed the reasons for Asibelua’s departure, nor has it named a replacement. However, industry observers speculate that the decision could be linked to shifting corporate strategies as the company continues to navigate Nigeria’s evolving petroleum landscape.
Asibelua, who also leads Equinox Group and has been involved in major oil trading deals across Africa, is expected to focus on his other business interests following his exit from Mira’s leadership.
Mira Resources Corp. has yet to issue further details regarding its next steps or changes in corporate direction following Asibelua’s resignation.
