New head of Nigeria’s state oil company sacks top management
By Julia Payne
Aug 5 (Reuters) – The new head of Nigeria’s state oil firm dismissed senior managers after a government directive, the company said on Wednesday, barely a day after President Muhammadu Buhari appointed him as managing director.
“All of the executive directors were let go … Buhari wanted a clean slate,” one of the dismissed managers said.
Buhari appointed a former executive of Exxon Mobil, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, to be the new head of NNPC on Tuesday, as part of a crackdown on corruption and mismanagement in Nigeria’s main revenue earner.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
