At a meeting with Mr Andrew Brown, the Director, Global Up­stream of Shell Oil Company at the State House, Abuja yester­day, Buhari said he will leave a legacy of improved infrastruc­ture, particularly in the power sector, and also ensure better se­curity in the Niger Delta region.“It is only by doing this that investors’ morale and confi­dence will return and the econ­omy will be positioned on the path of growth”, the President said.He commended Shell for its faith in the economy and stay­ing power. He gave assurances on some issues of concern raised by the company.On the protracted issue of cash calls, the President as­sured that the Federal Executive Council will soon consider a proposal for the easing of un­paid arrears owed by the gov­ernment.He assured his guest that the security of oil infrastructure will continue to be prioritised side-by-side with dialogue with the stakeholder-communities in the Niger Delta.He, however, urged oil compa­nies to take more responsibility in the protection of oil installations to complement the efforts of Ni­gerian Navy in the region.In his remarks, the Shell boss informed the President of the resumption of oil exportation through the Forcados terminal following its restoration.He called for continued protec­tion by the Nigerian Navy in view of repeated threats of attack by militants.Brown commended the anti-corruption posture of the ad­ministration as well as the efforts to streamline and stabilise the economy for long term projects, saying all the efforts will go a long way to reinforce Shell investment plans in Nigeria.
