Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina announced, yesterday, that Buhari had reconstituted the NNPC Board following the expiration of the term of the board members appointed in 2016.
Though the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Act as amended in 2007 provides for the appointment of nine persons to the Board, President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, named six members, leaving the public, including the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, as well as NNPC with the need for clarification.
While the six other members, as listed by extant regulations were appointed by the President and are Mohammed Lawal , Tajudeen Umar , Adamu Mahmood Attah , Senator Magnus Abe , Dr Stephen Dike , and Pius Akinyelure . Recall that Buhari had last year appointed Dr Thomas John as an acting alternate chairman of the Governing Board of NNPC to end the tenure of former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu.
When asked of the full list of the board, a reliable source at NNPC noted that the corporation is still awaiting communication on the matter from the Presidency.
