The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has announced the retirement of some senior officials and the deployment of others.
NNPC, in a statement by its Group Public Affairs Manager, Ndu Ughamadu, named the staff retired to include Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue Managing Director, NNPC Retail Ltd; Mr. Alpha P. Mamza, Executive Director, Operations, NNPC Retail Ltd; and Mr. Oluwa Kayode Erinoso, Manager, Distribution, NNPC Retail Ltd.
The company said the retirement was in line with the ongoing reforms in the oil firm.
But media reports have insinuated that the retirements are linked to the 100 million litres ‘missing’ petrol scandal involving Capital Oil & Gas Nigeria Limited.
