President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed the Board and Management members of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd.

This is in accordance with the powers vested in him in Section 59(2) of the Petroleum Industry Act (2021).

The president’s spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina, confirmed this development in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to him, Chairman of the board is Sen. Margery Chuba Okadigbo (Southeast), Mele Kolo Kyari, Chief Executive Officer, and Umar I. Ajiya, Chief Financial Officer.

Other board members are Dr Tajudeen Umar (Northeast), Mrs Lami Ahmed (North Central), Malam Mohammed Lawal (Northwest), Henry Obih (Southeast), Barrister Constance Harry Marshal (South-South), and Chief Pius Akinyelure (Southwest).

According to the media aide, the appointments take effect from the date of the incorporation of the NNPC Ltd.

Others are Executive Commissioner, Health, Safety, Environment and Community, and Jide Adeola (Kogi) and Executive Commissioner, Corporate Services and Administration,’’ the statement read.

He stated that the president had earlier appointed the Board Chairman, Executive Commissioner, Exploration and Acreage Management, and Executive Commissioner, Finance and Accounts for the commission.

“New appointees at the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority are Francis Alabo Ogaree (Rivers), Executive Director, Hydrocarbon Processing; Mustapha Lamorde (Adamawa) and Executive Director, Health, Safety, Environment and Community.

“For Midstream and Downstream Infrastructure Fund, new Council Members are Mr Effiong Abia (Akwa Ibom), Bobboi Ahmed (Adamawa), and Engr. Abdullahi Bukar (Katsina),’’ Adesina also stated.

President Buhari had last September written to the Senate on the administrative structure amendments to the Petroleum Industry Act.

It included appointment of non-executive board members, removal of the Ministries of Petroleum and Finance from the board of the two new institutions, and the appointment of Executive Directors.
