Management of Ocean Marine Solutions Limited (OMS) has unreservedly retracted its earlier statements about Shoreline Natural Resources Limited (“SNRL”) and its Directors namely Chief Kola Karim and Mr. Tunde Karim in respect of SNRL’s roles in the OML 30 joint venture operation and maintenance of the Trans Forcados Pipeline in the Niger Delta Region.

In an official statement released by the company, Rear Admiral Abraham Adaji (RTD), the Acting Managing Director, stated that, “Specifically, in January 2019, OMS made certain statements about SNRL and its Directors which were considered defamatory and injurious to their hard-earned business reputations. Some of the statements objected to by SNRL and its Directors were published in various online and print media (“the statements’).

“Whereas, it has been several years since the statements were made, OMS considers it appropriate to formally withdraw the statements made by or attributed to it and, therefore, hereby unequivocally withdraw the statements.”

The statement added that, “The Management of OMS hereby acknowledges the invaluable contributions of SNRL to the energy industry, and in particular, the oil and gas sector and commends the leadership of Chief Kola Karim, and Mr. Tunde Karim of SNRL.

“It is also looking forward to working collaboratively with SNRL and other stakeholders in the oil and gas sector to deliver best-in-class solutions that fosters innovation, investment, employment, and environmentally sustainable growth.”
