Willingly Resigns or forceful Resignation?

Any which way, the main thing is that he is history!

People like Engineer Farouk plenty for Nigeria. They are Big THIEVES and saboteur of our country, our society, our children and our future.

PlasmaTV:
Lol

Dangote tried. He must be arrested by the EFCC. But I have more faith in pigs flying than in EFCC

Go press Apple laptop, collect Benjamin Franklin from American client, make we check something for your EFCC zonal office.

In this country, just have money and connection then, leave the rest

This is serious o. The sack might have solved one problem, but what about the fears of many about Dangote refinery monopoly? Many sighted the Cement industry.
Again, some argues that others could set up refineries. But then, setting up a refinery is very capital intensive and with how big the Dangote refinery is and with so much cash at his disposal, how easy would it be for a new refinery to compete with him?

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.

hmnnn no be small thing...so fast? There is much that meets the eyes here....

Dose of you saying dangote is just pain see rubbish

Dangote turn activist to protect his 20 billion dollars investment

FreeStuffsNG:
It is not about Dangote please.

It is by his alleged betrayal of public trust. A career civil servant that can afford to spend $5 million on his 4 chlorine schooling in Switzerland has already made his case bad enough.

Very true

LegendHero:
Jagaban no even let too much time waste.

They gave him soft landing with the resignation. Now make e go face ICPC.

There is no cabal in Asiwaju government, na he himself be cabal.

Dey play. . Tinubu know wetin dey happen?

olatade:
The thing Wey turn a whole Dangote to activists under Tinubu's regime fit kîll me. Man has complained more times under Tinubu on social media than at any point in his existence

Imagine the amount he spent to build his refinery and some unscrupulous characters don't want his investment to succeed because of their greed

Thieves!!

Wow power speaketh

It is about Dangote
His case was treated with urgency because it came from an influential person like Dangote. If it were to be an average person that petitioned him, do u think in your mind the govt will act this quick??

NybenSBF101:

Oga wey dey office no know wetin happen, but the man for bq come know wetin happen for board meeting abi?

commoditiesnig:
About time.. good riddance!

The man embarrassed himself when he said Dangote refinery produced low quality fuel.

Maybe he asked for an 'under the table' settlement which Dangote did not yield to so he deliberately set out to sabotage the refinery

SmartPolician:
Did you see what you wrote in my comment?

Yes it’s a case of one crook replacing another . Damgote subtly alerted tinubu to the amount of millions of dollars leaking from that office and tinubu quickly replaced with his own stooge that will be bringing him in at least 40% to fund his politics and then dangote to get help in killing competition and entrench his usual monopoly and selling fuel at least 1,500 a liter

Resign??! Just like that??! What if Dangote now decides to expose other certified criminals like dem presidents, senators, reps, governors and ministers, na like so dem go dey resign

If you can spend $5 million on school fees, how much E come get like this?

Will an average man like yourself be privileged to have access to the information Alhaji Dangote secured?

How u wan get information about $7 million dollars activity with proof?

Kobicove:

Gbam! That’s very plausible. Dangote didn’t yield as others so he thought he could sabotage Dangote refined product

Unfortunately Dangote show am shege 😂

Nobody can lay claim to have funded his election campaign.

The man is really in charge of his government!

Buhari would have handed it over to God...

We hope the replacements too are not living above their means. Judges in this country send kids to foreign universities on their meagre salaries

Farouk Ahmed 1 vs Dangote 1 but Dangote's revenge is knockout

Hope the new guys are clean

Even if an average man is privy to such info, govt won't take him serious! They only took this case serious because it was coming from Dangote! They know what his influence can do in the international community. It will be delusional for anybody to want to rule out Dangote in this case!

I hope this isn't a way of closing the case at ICPC

ruggedtimi:
Na only hausa/yoruba dey this country.

Make una stop all this una ignorant comment. The lady from the south appointed by Tinubu is not a Yoruba woman

Has next to do with Tinubu but more to do with the oil and gas sector cabals he's fighting. Man has never seen anything this strong in his life.
