Gabon How Alilat Antseleve made a comeback under Ali Bongo

摘要

Alilat Antseleve Oyima, who has been appointed the special advisor on oil, mines and industry to the Gabonese president Ali Bongo, has come a long way. After serving as the all-powerful director of the country’s Direction generale des hydrocarbures (DGH) from 2009 to 2016, he was then forced to move aside for Jacob Thaty Tsioba, former director of Alex Stewart International. Antseleve is a close acquaintance of the new prime minister Julien Nkoghe Bekale, who had been minister of oil at the time he was at the DGH. The new advisor spent many years climbing the ranks at Shell Gabon, ending as deputy director of the company. He is the younger brother of Henri- Claude Oyima, the irremovable boss of BGFI Bank.
