STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

Engineers Farouk Ahmed, Gbenga Komolafe resign, President Tinubu nominates successors to the Senate for approval

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has asked the Senate to approve the nominations of two new chief executives for the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).

The requests followed the resignation of Engineer Farouk Ahmed of the NMDPRA and Gbenga Komolafe of the NUPRC. Both officials were appointed in 2021 by former President Buhari to lead the two regulatory agencies created by the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).

To fill these positions, President Tinubu has written to the Senate, requesting expedited confirmation of Oritsemeyiwa Amanorisewo Eyesan as CEO of NUPRC and Engineer Saidu Aliyu Mohammed as CEO of NMDPRA.

The two nominees are seasoned professionals in the oil and gas industry.

Eyesan, a graduate of Economics from the University of Benin, spent nearly 33 years with the NNPC and its subsidiaries. She retired as Executive Vice President, Upstream (2023–2024), and previously served as Group General Manager, Corporate Planning and Strategy at NNPC from 2019 to 2023.

Engineer Saidu Aliyu Mohammed, born in 1957 in Gombe, graduated from Ahmadu Bello University in 1981 with a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering. He was announced today as an independent non-executive director at Seplat Energy.

His prior roles include Managing Director of Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company and Nigerian Gas Company, as well as Chair of the boards of West African Gas Pipeline Company, Nigeria LNG subsidiaries, and NNPC Retail.

He also served as Group Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer, Gas & Power Directorate, where he provided strategic leadership for major gas projects and policy frameworks, including the Gas Masterplan, Gas Network Code, and contributions to the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).

Engineer Mohammed played a pivotal role in delivering key projects such as the Escravos–Lagos Pipeline Expansion, the Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline, and Nigeria LNG Train.

Nice great analysis... good work ok. But maintaining planes in Nigeria seens to b the challenge.

Happy independence anniversary NIGERIA May Allah make us the GREATEST of all Nation soon.

Mitsurugi:
This is a very sad image for Nigeria. He's likely Akwa-Ibom (for NCAN militants) but you can see the American government doesn't deal with tribe. They deal with nationality.

My brother do not conclude he raped his victim before you pass judgement…. Not the one the girl will come crying after claiming she lied… innocent men don do jail term for over 15yrs for accused rape case wen dem no sabi anything on. I have stand not to agree with many of these judgements passed wen a fair trial is not performed.

Good Engineering, I heard him say excavation was done up to 200meters This seem impossible. If it’s pilling works I agree but excavation to 200meters is not reasonably practicable as an engineer. Even for a lame duck you cannot hold the materials in areas excavation was performed.

Whaynoartbof Kubwa express its important to enable others divert.

May you go well Brother. It’s well. Life has it’s phases obey the laws

A proper investigation is required to certain the cause and who to fault. A mere claim is no solution. You can't go and stand in front of a trailer and complain wen u hit.

Kingluqman:

Excellent performance from the Navy team.

FG should be ashamed of this kind of case when there are high level cases of killings all over the country. This is pathetic to say the least.

OMG!!!!.... how did we get here?. Why is this country Detroirating?. What has made us loose focus this badly

I knew he would soon depart as BrainJotter reminded everyone including good and bad people last year that he was still alive.
My dad wasn't sick until I posted his picture on my status celebrating his birthday. He didn't see 24 months afterward.
Sometimes let the legend be. Don't bring them to social media.

95yrs is more than long life people wish for. Be grateful your dad live this long and thank the people that brought him out again to be celebrated in the last years of his long life. Accept my condolences.

LuQuLuQu:
But....

How's Seyi, Tinubu's son?

No resemblance whatsoever...okay oo

Nah Ojukwu Son be that as I hear…. It was reported His mother nah air hostess for the Airline Ojukwu Own that Year.

Story never ends

Stories, make you go check points for night go tell them

Wike is doing well, However he should desist from land grabbing.

See how Nigerians in the USA army enjoy them selves

They are looking for stolen funds. So after the people have invested, they will kick them out, knowing it's stolen funds.
