President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has removed Saidu Mohammed as Chief Executive of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), in a decisive shake-up of the nation’s oil regulatory leadership.
In a swift follow-up, the President nominated Rabiu Abdullahi Umar as the new Chief Executive, with the appointment now awaiting confirmation by the Nigerian Senate.
The sudden leadership change signals a new direction for the critical petroleum regulatory body, as stakeholders watch closely for the Senate’s next move on the nomination.
