Former Edo State Governor and Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, expressed his approval of the resignation of Engr. Farouk Ahmed and Mr. Gbenga Komolafe from Nigeria’s petroleum regulatory agencies, deeming their departure essential for the nation’s economic well-being.
Oshiomhole made these statements on Thursday during the screening of President Bola Tinubu’s nominees for the roles of Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
Sharing his thoughts, the senator remarked, “He needed to be held accountable.”
He continued, “In my earlier comments, I stated that if you don’t hold him accountable, he will negatively impact Nigeria. Anyone who opposes job creation in Nigeria and prefers to import goods, thereby bringing poverty here and exporting our wealth abroad, does not deserve to thrive.”
Oshiomhole added, “I am eager to see how this situation will unfold. I might indulge tonight in celebration over Farouk’s departure.”
Farouk Ahmed, the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), submitted his resignation roughly 24 hours ago amid controversy surrounding his leadership.
