President Bola Tinubu has Abdullahi Mustapha as the director-general and 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.”
