The appointment of Mr. Soneye comes as part of a series of management changes at NNPCL. In September, the company appointed new Executive Vice Presidents for its upstream, downstream, and gas sectors, signifying a commitment to strategic leadership in the energy industry.
Moreover, NNPCL is actively rejuvenating its workforce to align with its strategic business goals. As part of this effort, management staff members who were within 15 months of reaching their statutory retirement age were requested to leave the company, effective September 19, 2023.
These organizational changes are in line with the broader efforts to reform the Nigerian energy sector. The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Advisory Council’s Energy and Natural Resources sub-committee established a tight timeline for the incoming administration to identify capable and reform-minded leaders to oversee NNPCL. The objective is to transform the company into a fully functional commercial entity in accordance with the provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). These reforms aim to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the energy sector, ultimately benefiting the nation’s economy and energy consumers.
