PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has today appointed Dr. Abdullahi Mustapha as Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Energy Commission.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, made the announcement in a statement issued today titled ‘President Tinubu selects new ECN Chief Executive Officer.’
Mustapha worked for the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission for almost a decade and has extensive experience in the energy and space technology sectors.
He just completed a doctorate in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on renewable energy, followed by a post-doctoral fellowship as a research associate in the School of Engineering at the prestigious University of Manchester in 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.”
