NNPCL Confirms Mele Kyari’s Continued Role as Group Managing Director

Exploring NNPCL’s Decision: Mele Kyari to Remain as GMD

There are currently no plans to remove Mele Kyari as the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL).

Despite public calls for his removal due to concerns about Nigeria’s oil sector, Kyari has been reappointed by President Tinubu for another term.

This move was part of a larger reshuffle of the NNPCL’s board and management team, which will take effect on December 1, 2023.

According to official statements, the reappointment reflects the current administration’s confidence in Kyari’s leadership amid global oil challenges and his contributions to improving the NNPCL’s operations.
