Tinubu writes Senate, seeks confirmation for NMDPRA executive directors
President Bola Tinubu has asked the Senate to confirm the appointments of executive directors and the secretary of the board of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
The request was conveyed in a letter addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and read during plenary on Tuesday.
In the letter, Tinubu explained that the appointments were made in line with Section 41, subsections 2 and 3 of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021.
Among those nominated for reappointment are Mr Abiodun Adeniji as Executive Director of Finance and Accounts, and Mr Ogbugo Ukoha as Executive Director of Distribution Systems, Storage and Retailing Infrastructure.
Dr Mustapha Lamode, the Executive Director, Health, Safety, Environment and Community, was also listed for reappointment.
Tinubu also listed the nominees for new appointments to include Mr Mobolaji Musa as Executive Director, Hydrocarbon Processing Plants, Installation and Partnership and Ms Ogechukwu Modie as Executive Director, Economic Regulation and Strategic Planning.
Others are Mr Said Abutali as Executive Director, Corporate Services and Administration, and Mrs Jumoke Gafar as Board Secretary and Legal Adviser.
The President expressed the hope that the senate would consider and confirm the nominees in its usual expeditious manner.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Akpabio, thereafter, referred the letter to the Committees on Petroleum Resources (Downstream) and Petroleum Resources (Gas) for further legislative inputs and to revert to plenary within one week. (NAN)
