President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may have approved a plan to reorganise the NNPCL with a new Group Chief Executive Officer replacing the incumbent and a new Chairman of the board.

Informed Sources have confirmed to Empowered Newswire that Mr. Bayo Ojulari, a well regarded, former top official of Shell, where he was the Managing Director, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) in Nigeria has been tipped to replace Mele Kyari.

Also, the well-known Mr. Ahmadu Musa Kida, one time Deputy Managing Director of Total Oil will become the new Chairman of the Board of the national oil company.

Chief Pius Akinyelure who was named the Board Chairman in 2023 is now expected to step down in the new rearrangement, details of which are still sketchy at press time.

But there are also indications that Mr. Mele Kyari will stay in office up until the 1st of March, while Roland Ewubare will become Group Chief Operating Officer.

It would be recalled that few years ago Roland Ewubare resigned from the NNPC as Chief Operating Officer at NNPC, amid speculations that both himself and Mele Kyari fell out.

According to Wikipedia, “Mr. Bayo Bashir Ojulari is a Nigerian engineer and expert in petroleum, process and production engineering. He was managing director of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) from 2015 to 2021.

“Ojulari began his engineering career in Nigeria and served in different leadership positions in Nigeria engineering professional organisations including as chairman and member of board of trustees of Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE Nigeria Council) between 1998 and 1999. He is a Fellow of Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE).Ojulari worked in Europe and Middle East in different managerial capacities in Petroleum Engineering, Process Engineering, Production Engineering and in health and safety roles.

“Ojulari was appointed Managing Director Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) and as general manager, Deepwater in November 2015. Within this period, he served as a member of the board of directors of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) responsible for Onshore and Offshore Petroleum Engineering, Technical Integration of Development, Well and Project Engineering.He retired from his positions in Shell in July 2021.”

Similarly, Wikipedia reports that Ahmadu Musa Kida is a Nigerian engineer and former basketball player, who hails from Borno State in Nigeria. He was the Deputy Managing Director, Deep Water Services, of Total Nigeria

Kida and “started his career as a professional at ELF Petroleum Nigeria as a trainee engineer and materials coordinator. Mr Musa joined Total Exploration & Production Nigeria in 1985 and has over 32 years’ experience in the Oil and Gas industry.

if na you nko?

Smart move. Kyari is from Borno state. Kida as the Chairman of the board will fill in for Borno state.

His vote in Borno state is still intact.

He should replace him but lets hope he doesnt do that to create a frying pan-to-fire situation.

Mr. Bayo is from Shaare, He has my full support.

baba Hope u gave it same "shameful" tag when Buhari appointed his own tribe's man into that position?........if you didn't, then keep quiet!!.....but if u did, then my brother...Tinubu is only continuing from where his predecessor stopped....Remember what he said about continuation.....

We should just hope the so called next person would be a square peg in a square hole irrespective of tribe!!....

Another Yoruba man loading.....

Yep, way to go. Kyari has done a wonderful job but will be gone by 2026, and then it’s Mahmouds turn to also go in late 2026 before the presidential primaries. It’s all coming together
