Tyab brothers’ influential role

The names of the Griffiths Energy International co-founders, Naeem and Parvez Tyab, may be familiar to those who follow the sometimes shadowy world of Canadian oil minnows operating in Africa. The other co-founder was the late Canadian financier and businessman Brad Griffiths, who died in mid-2011. The Tyabs served as directors until July 2011, when a new board and management were appointed.
