Nuhu Adam’s presence will enrich our team-Superba

Superba, an aircraft consulting firm, said the over 20 years’ experience of Nuhu Adam in aviation and aircraft acquisition and sales, oil and gas logistics, public affairs and international charter operator across both public and private sectors would enrich the team and give it a global perspective and a deep understanding of the African market.

Over the years, Superba collaboration has contributed to the development of key strategic projects in Africa’s leading energy hubs, particularly in Nigeria, Angola, and Mozambique.

In the latter, its joint efforts helped facilitate the development of one of the continent’s most significant offshore gas fields near Pemba, by supporting logistics and infrastructure planning.

As Senior Advisor for Aircraft Acquisition and Sales, Aviation Strategy, and Government Affairs, Adam now serves as its strategic advisor for aviation operations and management in Africa.

He is a recognised expert in stakeholder engagement, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) negotiations, and high-level institutional strategy.

He has held key positions in prominent organisations such as Intel Nigeria Ltd, Virgin Nigeria Airways, and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), where he led World Bank-funded regional projects across West and Central Africa.

He also served as Senior Partner at Travelinn Ltd (Leisure & Travel Management), where he coordinated business jet maintenance programs, multimodal logistics, operational safety, and relations with government authorities.

In his role with the Pan-African Parliament (PAP), he worked with supranational entities and governments to establish the Nigerian regional office and plan high-level diplomatic events.

In 2024, he was officially honoured at the Nigeria-Italy Investment Summit for his strategic contributions to strengthening economic relations between Africa and Europe.

In 2025, Adam formally joined the operations of Superba Consulting.

“Following decades of collaboration with Superba Consulting’s founder, Gianni Riccardi, in the field of business aviation applied to oil and gas logistics — including aircraft acquisition and sales, aircraft management, international charter services, VIP and offshore helicopter transportation — Nuhu Adam now serves as our strategic advisor for aviation operations and management in Africa”, the company said.

This partnership, it noted, is rooted in extensive shared experience in one of the most demanding and complex sectors: Oil & Gas.
