Most of the failures are always good on paper until they get appointed. Pls someone should ask the president why more then 80% of the appointments for North Central goes to the minoriYorubas in Kogi and Kwara. Pls I have be shouting this, I want to know why!
You people have marginalized for long.

Tinubu thinks we are fools! North my foot! He removed a kanuri and replaced with a Yoruba. He has been giving the slots meant for North Central to the Yorubas in Kogi and Kwara and arguing that they are Northerners
Check your map. Your shege on them has ended. It's liberty time.

how does all he has written make it a good selection?
Because it brings competency, negotiation skills and balance between national interest and international interest.... What we fail to realize is that OPEC is very bad for our market in the sense that you must align with their policies to gain access to markets.... I will like to explain in full details on how the mechanism works but in traffic at the moment... So will do so when gotten to my destination

HausaIgboYoruba:
same observation here. North Central positions are always given to people of Yoruba extraction mostly in Kwara and to some extent Yorubas in Kogi. Last week it's Dr Abubakar appointed as Health Insurance Chairman from Kwara and now Ojuari NNPCL CEO from same Kwara. What about people from Niger, Nassarawa, Plateau and Benue states?
The new chairman of NNPC is from Borno state in north east and the ceo is from Kwara state in north central. All zones have a representative on the board. What the fvck are you guys crying about?

It's not true but you have failed to tell Nairalanders the largest ethnic group in the north central.

You suppose disagree with your evidence

Kyari has really stayed long and enjoyed that lucrative office tinibu has finally completed the yorubalization of all major nigerian institutions a clear show off of ethnic supremacy even buhari never did this.

But why North go commot and he go reappoint another Northerner to replace him. This is injustice against the South.

Bashir AbdulOjulari is a Northerner. Congratulations to him tho.
Is the rule
If you have a Southerner as a Minister for Petroleum then the NNPC MD must be a Northerners or vice visa

They made sure to announce it after April 2nd midnight, so kyari wouldn't think it was an April Fools' Day prank.

It's surprising that Tinubu has allowed Mr. Kyari to continue in office until now.
I agree. Kyari should have been shown exit ages ago. Anyways, I hope these new folks turn around the fortunes of NNPC, have a good working relationship with local refineries and enhance steady delivery of the product at reduced price. Also, projects still lagging in delays like pipelines, refineries, etc are swiftly completed. Concession or sell the refineries. If NNPC has just 1 quality refinery that works perfectly and profitable, it’s better than 3 mediocre and costly nightmares that are just draining money. If there are no buyers, just sell the damn thing as scrap metal.
Re: NNPC Gets New CEO, Chairman And Board by Mathewrichard99: 8:10am On Apr 02, 2025
Their CVS damn intimidating, especially the new Group CEO/ MD of NNPCL. I have a thought that it's going to be well henceforth with Nigeria Economy. It's very difficult to put together the trouble and mismanagement under Buhari/Kyari tenure and even while he was retained till this morning. Kyari and his gang of thieves really messed up NNPCL and the flow of petroleum product within and outside the country. These people corruptly enriched themselves and their political godfathers. Just wait, relax and allow dirty news of their high-handedness to start filtering in.....

I also suspect that Dangote Naira for Crude issue was dramatically messed up by Kyari......

Take a look at the quality of human beings appointed.

Good schools, sterling careers.

Sensible investment strategists.

Balanced appointments!

May they succeed.

PS: Austin Avuru, Babs Omotowa, Bello Rabiu sit or sat on the board of Seplat. The new MD is from Renaissance Energy. Henry Ikem Obih came from ExxonMobil and had served as ED in NNPC during Buhari's time. David Ige worked in NNPC. Yusuf Usman also had a stint in Shell and NNPC. Some of these guys graduated first class and had a strong mix of public sector and private sector experience. The appointments are spot on and well thought out. We'd assess their performace within the next two years, God willing.

Bayo Ojulari is from Kwara State. They are in the NorthCentral. He is highly competent and was MD of SNEPCO.

As for the VP, historically, he cannot do more than what he is assigned. He is not in competition with his boss for visibility.

As Robert Greene said, never outshine the master. Natasha is doing it. She is winning. Time would tell if she was right. Las Las, na podcast she go end up doing because she is good at it.
He is Yoruba nevertheless
Yorubas dey both south and north that's the politics

Me I was surprised, but I heard it was an agreement to allow him after helping him to rig election, but I know tinibu will allow him for a while and remove him..

I hate that man policies in NNPC

Meanwhile make u a try remember Senator ararume na, d guy don try lobby this nnpc job, the one wey una give am b4 buhari remove him immediately

Sometimes, the media has the information but they are asked to stay put until the formal announcement is made. Some newspapers may have printed and started circulating; so the announcement needed to be made.

As for Mele Kyari, I heard rumours he had been given a deadline to get two refineries to work by December 2024 or get the boot. That may explain why he stayed long.
Same way they told media to keep anything about Wike health on hold..

To avoid April fool, he discreetly fired Mele Kyari midnight April 2 and replacement is with immediate effect.

I thought this man would have been removed since. How he managed to hold the office till now baffles me.

Round peg in square hole! Very incompetent
It was an agreement after he played major role in Tinibu rigging election..
But I know tinibu will remove him later..

Re: NNPC Gets New CEO, Chairman And Board by ikdaddy01(m): 8:18am On Apr 02, 2025
Their first duty is to renegotiate with Dangote and bring back the Naira for Crude policy which President Tinubu with FEC gave approval and which was neglected as at the last time we check and was suspended by the sacked CEO and board.

Seeing the man's CV, I don't mind where he comes from at this time. Just hope somebody can do the right thing and we can have petrol prices start coming down once again

You're forgetting that Kwara State is part of the Emirates which is a northern thing.

Have you not heard of the Emir of Ilorin, Prof. Sulu Gambari?

You guys are preparing lies to use in future, In the history of this new democracy, no VP has wedged as much influence as the present VP.

The man throws jabs at everybody when he has the chance. Except you do not know how to use Google, there is no way you will not find him in one state activity at least every other week. Very recently he threw another jab at Atiku. Even Tinubu don collect friend jab one time
