Shakeup in NNPCL leadership, as management staff are involuntarily retired

There is a major shakeup in the leadership ranks of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) as it has directed all its Management Staff with less than 15 months to statutory retirement to immediately exit the company.

The NNPCL on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle said that the move is pursuant to effective organisational renewal to support its strategic business objectives to create equal opportunities for all Nigerians.

It said: “Consequently, in addition to the recent exit of three executive vice-presidents, other management staff with less than fifteen (15) months to statutory retirement will be exiting the company effective Sept. 19, 2023.

“This is in line with our commitment to scale up NNPC Ltd.’s capabilities through targeted talent management and equal opportunity for all Nigerians.”

Recall that the NNPCL through the same medium, on Sunday announced the compulsory retirement of the company’s three former executive vice-presidents, Abdulkabir Ahmed, Adokiye Tombomieye, and Adeyemi Adetunji.

They were immediately replaced with Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan (executive vice-president, Upstream); Olalekan Ogunleye (executive vice-president, Gas, Power, and New Energy); and Adedapo Segun (executive vice-president, Downstream), respectively.
