The Presidency today announced the removal of the Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo.

A statement from Ima Niboro, Senior Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the Acting President read, "The Acting President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has appointed Alhaji Shehu Ladan as the new Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. He replaces Alhaji Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo."

Ladan retired from NNPC April 6th, 2009, as Group Executive Director, Commercial and Investment. He was also former Deputy Managing Director of Nigeria LNG, Executive Director of NETCo as well as NPDC, both subsidiaries of NNPC.

Ladan is expected to execute the administration’s vision of transforming the NNPC into a global brand and player.

NA LIE !!!!!!!!

Are you surprised or you just think its impossible?

Yes, I think he was sacked because he did not agree with the FG attempt at deregulating the petroleum (NNPC) sector.
