NNPC appoints, redeploys management staff

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced the appointment and redeployment of top management staff across board in a major exercise designed to reflect operational realities and ensure sustained performance and profitability.
In a podcast to members of staff, the Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, said the changes were informed by the desire to consolidate on the restructuring exercise through realigning jobs with requisite competences and experiences in line with international best practices, while taking deliberate measures to ensure fairness and equity as well as the capacity to deliver.
Baru said: “As you might have heard, His Excellency Mr. President has approved the High Level Organogram of the Corporation and appointment of Staff into various positions. Most importantly, the changes were done in the spirit of entrenching professionalism and accountability which is a cardinal principle of our 12 Business Focus Areas which are hinged on the slogan moving NNPC Forward…Together.”
While calling on staff members to support the ongoing restructuring efforts, the GMD noted that the NNPC has made some progress in the implementation of the 12 Business Focus Areas.

In all, 109 management staff were promoted, while 24 were redeployed in the exercise, which saw the return of veteran journalist, Ndu Ughamadu, as the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division.
