President Bola Tinubu announced the appointment of Dr. Abdullahi Mustapha as the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Energy Commission of Nigeria.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement he signed on Monday titled ‘President Tinubu appoints new ECN Chief Executive Officer.’
Until his appointment, Mustapha brings over a decade of experience from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission and has a strong background in Energy and Space Technology sectors.
His qualifications include a recent Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering, with a specific focus on Renewable Energy. Following this, he completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship as a Research Associate at the esteemed University of Manchester, England.
Tinubu said he expects the new ECN Chief Executive to “make a positive impact on his administration’s intensive push to diversify the nation’s energy sources in a synergized fashion across the government towards the ultimate aim of industrializing every part of the country with every citizen emancipated from the shackles of energy poverty.”
Kanyi Daily recalls that Bola Tinubu had appointed the immediate past Minister of Special Duties, Senator George Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
