President Bola Tinubu has approved a reconstitution of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) board, removing the chairman, Chief Pius Akinyelure and the Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari.
Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement, said President Tinubu removed all other board members appointed with Akinyelure and Kyari in November 2023.
“The new 11-man board has Engineer Bashir Bayo Ojulari as the Group CEO and Ahmadu Musa Kida as non-executive chairman,” Onanuga said.
Adedapo Segun, who replaced Umaru Isa Ajiya as the chief financial officer last November, has been appointed to the new board by President Tinubu.
