Tinubu Nominate 21 People for Petroleum Boards, Senate Go Confirm

Omo Naija, wetin dey happen wey Tinubu don drop wahala for Senate again? E don write two letters wey get 21 nominees wey dem go confirm for board of Nigerian Petroleum Regulatory Authority and NUPRC. E no be small matter oh!

Na the first letter, our oga President nominate former senator Magnus Abe make him dey lead NUPRC board. Dis Abe guy sef don sabi the oil matter well-well, as he don serve Rivers South East for two terms and he don dey on NNPC board before. E dey current chairman for National Agency of the Great Green Wall too. Na person wey sabi matter be dis!

But wait, no be only Abe join the matter oh! Dem also nominate Engineer Paul Yaro Jezhi, wey be former Trade Union Congress chairman for Kaduna, and Sunday Adebayo Babalola, wey don dey hustle as deputy director for Department of Petroleum Resources before e close shop in 2021. Both of dem go represent as non-executive commissioners.

The nominees for executive commissioners no be joke too. First, we get Muhammed Sabo Lamido as finance executive, Edu Inyang for Exploration and Acreage, Justin Ezeala for economic regulation, and Henry Darlington Oki for Development and Production. Alka no carry last as he dey handle corporate services and administration, while Mahmood Tijani dey run health, safety and environment. No forget Olayemi Adeboyejo wey go be secretary and legal adviser. Na family matter since former President Buhari don drop some of dem for 2022.

Then, in the second letter, Tinubu no dey slack one bit as him nominate Adegbite Ebiowei Adeniji as NMDPRA chairman. Dis Adeniji don get experience for energy matter for over 30 years, and him don serve as technical adviser for Minister of State for Petroleum. Na so e dey run the whole show now.

Others wey join him for NMDPRA na Chief Kenneth Kobani, wey don be minister before, and Asabe Ahmed as non-executive members. Make I yarn una, dem get Abiodun Adeniji, Francis Ogaree, Oluwole Adama, and Lamorde wey go be executive directors for different sectors. Na dem go handle the serious oil matter for Naija.

Tinubu don dey urge Senate make dem quick confirm dis nominees as him dey look for people wey go do their work as regulators for oil and gas. E get reason why, as dem don just appoint CEO for NUPRC and NMDPRA. Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan and Engineer Saidu Aliyu Mohammed don already take that position! Na so governance dey roll for Naija, and we go dey watch as dis drama unfold.
