Femi Oyelola in Kaduna
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has welcomed 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 Limited (NNPCL) by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was contained in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Forum, Prof. T. A. Muhammad-Baba, and made available to the media in Kaduna today.
He stated that 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.
“The forum commended the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Administration for the confidence-inspiring initiative and expressed the belief that the duo and teams will justify the confidence reposed upon them by the President.
“It is indeed a fresh breath of affairs for Nigeria, as indeed reflected in the widespread welcome that the appointments continue to receive. ACF wishes the erstwhile team a happy retirement.”
He emphasized that the Nigerian parliament has a history of providing solutions to national challenges, particularly during times of crisis.
Agbese recommended the formation of a national committee comprising executive members, parliamentarians, and eminent leaders to ensure peace and prevent future conflict in the state.
