The National Petroleum Corporation of Nigeria (NNPC) conducted a major restructuring exercise, resulting in the withdrawal of more than 200 officials.
The move is part of a new CEO Bayo Ojulari’s efforts to revamp the organization since taking office earlier this month.
Former Napim Bala Wunti and Ibrahim Onoja, managing director of Port Harcourt Refinery, were both forced to retire or terminate immediately, multiple sources show. Lawal Sade, the agency’s chief compliance officer, was also reportedly released.

The reorganization exercises of some NNPC C-Suite and ranking members seem to have been well received, and they believe the move is designed to create broader opportunities for women and minorities in the organization. “This reorganization will enhance the representation of women in leadership positions,” a senior official said on condition of anonymity.

As part of the restructuring, Maryamu Idris was appointed as the new managing director of trade, overseeing crude oil transactions, while Obioma Abangwu was appointed as the chief liaison officer of the NNPC management committee. “More than 200 employees were asked to go,” the official added.
A spokesperson for NNPC’s company communications did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the development. Former Shell director Ojulari appointed Bola Tinubu on April 4.
He replaced Mele Kyari, a professional official who ran the oil giant for five years before being removed from office.
