The South-South Initiative for Better Nigeria (SSIBN), has commended President Bola Tinubu for three key appointments in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

In a statement signed by the national coordinator of SSIBN, Mr Jack Akpvwoghene and programmes manager, Ebitare Wellington, the group praised the president for his commitment to the development of the Nigerian oil sector.

According to the group, the recent appointments into key management positions of the NNPCL demonstrate the president’s resolve to strengthen the company‘s operational efficiency and boost its competitive edge in the global oil and gas industry.

The statement read, in part, „These significant appointments are a testament to your unwavering commitment to the Nigerian oil and gas sector in ensuring it meets international standards and boost Nigeria’s potential as far as the Oil and Gas Industry is concerned.“

The statement further noted that „the appointments of Mr. Isiyaku Abdullahi as executive vice president, Downstream; Mr Udobong Ntia as executive vice president, Upstream; and Mr Adedapo Segun as the chief financial officer (CFO) cannot come at a time other than now, as they show the unwavering support of Mr President in taking the Nigeria Oil and Gas sector to a greater height in the global Oil and Gas industry.

„The appointment of Udobong  could not have come at a better time as it reminds us in the South South of the good days of Adokiye Tombomieye as EVP upstream who was able to manage internal affairs of the Niger Delta region, helping the GCEO, Mele Kolo Kyari to have a smooth relationship with youths in the region.

„We at SSIBN commend Mr President for these key major appointments in the oil sector and we stand ready to support him as well as collaborate with him on initiatives that align with the vision of a prosperous and inclusive Nigeria.”
