President
Muhammadu Buhari’s determination to reposition the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) for better efficiency and accountability has continued to
claim more victims. This is just as 38 of the Corporation’s top management
staff were equally sacked in the sweeping reorganization, reducing the number
from 122 to 83.
This
time, the managing directors (MDs) of the Corporation’s strategic business
units (SBUs) – which include the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company
(PPMC), Warri Refinery and Petrochemical Company (WRPC), Nigeria Petroleum
Development Company (NPDC) and NNPC Retail, as well as the company secretary
and legal adviser – have all been sacked and replaced with immediate effect.
Also,
sequel to last week’s sack of the Corporation’s eight group executive directors
(GEDs), the president yesterday appointed four new GEDs and cut down the
departments from eight to four.
A
statement released yesterday by NNPC’s spokesman, Ohi Alegbe, stated that the
changes were all approved by President Buhari. According to the new group
managing director (GMD) of the NNPC, Dr Emmanuel Kachikwu, “the new
appointments are in line with the federal government’s aspiration to transform
the Corporation into a lean, efficient, business-focused, transparent and
accountable national oil company in keeping with international best practices.”
The
new appointments include: Dr. Maikanti Baru, GED, Exploration and Production;
Mr Isiaka Abdulrazaq, GED, Finance and Services; Engr Dennis Nnamdi Ajulu, GED,
Refining and Technology, and Dr Babatunde Victor Adeniran, GED, Commercial and
Investment. Similarly, the new company secretary/legal adviser and managing
directors appointed for the SBUs are Chidi Momah, group general manager,
company secretary/legal adviser, and Mrs Esther Nnamdi Ogbue, managing director
(MD), Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC).
The
list also include Engr Chinedu Ezeribe, MD, Warri Refinning and Petrochemicals
Company (WRPC); Mr Babatunde Bakare, MD, Nigerian Gas Company (NGC); Mr Inuwa
Ibrahim Waya, Managing Director, Hyson, Mr Abubakar Mai-Bornu, MD, Nigerian
Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), and Mr Ladipo Fagbola, MD, NNPC Retail. Others
are Mr Rowland Ewubare, MD, Integrated Data Services Ltd (IDSL); Mr Modupe
Bammeke, MD, NNPC Properties; Mr Abdulkadir Saidu, MD, Duke Oil, and Mr Dafe
Sejebor, group general manager, Nigerian Petroleum Investment Management
Services (NAPIMS).
According
to the statement, “12 personnel have been recruited from the private sector
into the top management cadre to jump-start a new business outlook aimed at
enhancing the operational environment as a profit-driven business as against
the current civil service orientation, in line with the aspiration to
reposition the Corporation.”
