President Bola Tinubu has appointed Abdullahi Mustapha as the chief executive officer of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN).
This was disclosed by Ajuri Ngelale, the special adviser to the president on media & publicity, on Monday.
Prior to his appointment, Mustapha served for over a decade in the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission with significant experience in the Energy and Space Technology sectors.
He 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, England.
Tinubu said he 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 synergised fashion across the government towards the ultimate aim of industrialising every part of the country with every citizen emancipated from the shackles of energy poverty.”
