President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Dr Abdullahi Mustapha to serve as the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN).
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, made this known in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
He said, ” 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.
” This is toward the ultimate aim of industrialising every part of the country with every citizen emancipated from the shackles of energy poverty.”
Mustapha had 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.
