“In accordance with Nigerian Exchange Limited (“NGX”) Rulebook, we hereby notify NGX and the investing public that the Board of Directors (‘the Board’) of Tantalizers Plc (the Company) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dutch citizen Robert Speijer as its new Group Managing Director (“GMD”) and Charles Olayemi Ifidon as its Group Deputy Managing Director (“DMD”) as well as MD/CEO of Tantalizers Foods and Retails, with effect from Tuesday, 29th October 2024.” 

However, as emphasized in the disclosure, these appointments remain subject to shareholder ratification during the company’s forthcoming annual general meeting.

Robert has over thirty (30) years of experience spanning the blue economy, oil and gas, and maritime sectors, having served as Group Executive Director at Jagal Group and NigerDock with responsibilities for business development.

He has also held roles as Vice President of Africa for Inchcape Shipping Services and Director for Business Development (West Africa) at Petrofac International, a London Stock Exchange-listed company operating in over 32 countries.

A trained engineer from the Merchant Navy Academy in the Netherlands and a certified blue economy professional, Robert is expected to lead Tantalizers Plc’s transformation into a diversified company with interests in food, entertainment, and the blue economy.

Charles Ifidon’s profile 

Charles Ifidon, the new Group DMD, has over 30 years of experience as CEO of various organizations spanning hotels, hospitality, and logistics, following his graduation from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife.

  • The funding is expected to aid the company’s restructuring process and help stabilize its operations.
  • With these appointments, Tantalizers Plc aims to drive growth and strengthen its presence in the food and entertainment sectors.
