‘They reflect needed national spread’: ACF lauds Tinubu over NNPC appointments

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing Ahmad Musa Kida as the new Board Chairman of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.

The ACF also lauded the president over the appointment of Bayo Ojulari as the Group Chief Executive Officer of the NNPC Limited.

The Forum, in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Prof. T. A. Muhammad-Baba, on Thursday, April 3, 2025, said all the new appointees are well-qualified industry experts with decades of on-hand professional and unblemished experiences, in both public and private segments of the oil and gas sector of the national economy.

The ACF stated: “Equally heart-warming is that the appointments of the new team, both Northerners, reflect a needed national spread, proving the point that all sections of Nigeria are endowed with great human resources that can be deployed to pilot the affairs of any and all sectors for the good of society.

“ACF commends the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Administration for this confidence-inspiring initiative. It is indeed a fresh breath of affairs for Nigeria, as indeed reflected in the widespread welcome that the appointments continue to receive.

“It is our believe that the duo and teams will justify the confidence reposed upon them by the President.

“ACF wishes the erstwhile team happy retirement.

“While confident in the capacity and capability of the new teams to deliver on their mandate, ACF prays for the team to be guided by nothing but patriotism, accountability and the universal principles of good corporate governance and social responsibility.

“ACF makes this fervent wish cognisant of the many needless controversies that envelopes this national asset over time.

“We wish them all the very best, even as we charge that the new teams cannot and should not disappoint. We also call on the all Nigerians to give them the needed support.”
