President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Dr. Abdullahi Mustapha Director-General and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN).
The appointment was announced by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, on Monday night in Abuja.
Ngelale said Mustapha has served for over a decade in the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) with significant experience in the Energy and Space Technology sectors.
Mustapha most recently obtained his Doctorate degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Renewable Energy, followed by a Post-Doctoral Fellowship as a Research Associate in the School of Engineering at the prestigious University of Manchester.
The media aide said that President Tinubu expects the new ECN Chief Executive to make a positive impact on his administration’s intensive push to diversify the nation’s energy sources in a synergized fashion across the government toward the ultimate aim of industrializing every part of the country with every citizen emancipated from the shackles of energy poverty.
