The newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of Falcon Corporation Limited, Audrey Joe-Ezigbo, has disclosed plans to secure partnerships aimed at expanding value creation.

The new CEO assumed office on January 1, 2026, replacing the company’s founding Managing Director, Joseph Ezigbo, who retired after 31 years in office.

Before taking on the new leadership role, Audrey Joe-Ezigbo was the co-founder and Deputy Managing Director.

Speaking virtually at the retirement ceremony of Joseph Ezigbo, the new CEO described him as a towering figure, acknowledging his resilience in keeping the firm alive since its establishment in 1994.

“This is a man whose contributions are firmly embedded in the history and evolution of Falcon Corporation Limited.

“Over the years, he has played a significant role in this story. He embraced the description of chief servant of the company, bringing his energy, his ideas, and accessibility to his leadership. His style was one of an amiable persona, engagement, and commitment,” she said.

She said her vision is aimed at building on the existing foundation and moving the firm into the next wave of growth as a more agile, innovative, and impact-driven energy company.

“We are entering a strategic phase that is focused on deepening our footprints across the gas value chain, scaling critical infrastructure, moving the company to the upstream segment of the industry, and in the process, cultivating partnerships that we believe will unlock new avenues for value creation and national impact,” she said.

She added that her administration will focus on sharpening governance, performance, and people.

“We will be ensuring that we strengthen the systems, the culture, and the capabilities within Falcon, ensuring that we are fully equipped and aligned in this next stage of growth.

“We will ensure that the legacy of discipline and integrity that has brought us this far is preserved while embracing the innovation and strategic boldness that is required for our next era,” she said.

In his remarks, the retired CEO stressed that the existence of the firm over three decades was proof of resilience and dedication.

“We knew that we were on the right path. At the initial judgment, I said to myself, nothing is impossible,” he said.

He described stepping down as the firm’s CEO as a transition and not a retirement.
