President Bola Tinubu
By AMOS MATHEW, Kaduna –
Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Administration for the appointment of Ahmad Musa Kida as the new board Chairman and Bashir Bayo Ojulari as the Group Managing Director to pilot the affairs of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
It was made known in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Prof. Muhammad-Baba.
“It is indeed a fresh breath of affairs for Nigeria, as indeed reflected in the widespread welcome that the appointments continue to receive.
“It is our believe that the duo and teams will justify the confidence reposed upon them by the President.
“Particularly pleasing is that all the new appointees are well-qualified industry experts with decades of on-hand professional and unblemished experiences, in both public and private segments of the oil and gas sector of the national political economy.
“Equally heart-warming is that the appointments of the new team, both Northerners, reflect a needed national spread, proving the point that all sections of Nigeria are endowed with great human resources that can be deployed to pilot the affairs of any and all sectors for the good of society.
“While confident in the capacity and capability of the new teams to deliver on their mandate, ACF prays for the team to be guided by nothing but patriotism, accountability and the universal principles of good corporate governance and social responsibility.
“ACF makes this fervent wish cognisant of the many needless controversies that envelopes this national asset over time. We wish them all the very best, even as we charge that the new teams cannot and should not disappoint. We also call on the all Nigerian to give them the needed support”, it added.
