President Buhari is looking for the candidate to replace Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, the group managing director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Kachikwu, who was appointed in August 2015 by President Muhammadu Buhari, has been recently confirmed as a ministerial designate.
The presidency is looking for Kachikwu’s replacement as he cannot be a minister and still be the NNPC boss.
According to Daily Post, the president has already picked out three candidates, including deputy managing director of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG), Isa Mohammed Inuwa, who used to work as a group general manager of corporate services in the NNPC.
The race to succeed the NNPC boss began after the president had sent his name as a ministerial nominee to the Senate. After the successful screening, Kachikwu is expected to emerge as the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, a ministry that Buhari will keenly supervise.
