President Buhari Set To Replace Kachikwu As NNPC GMD, Shortlists Three Northerners (See)

According to Daily Post,President Muhammadu Buhari will later this month replace the Group Managing Director (GMD), Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu.
Buhari has already picked out three persons, including Deputy Managing Director of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG), Isa Mohammed Inuwa.
Inuwa was Group General Manager, Corporate Services in NNPC before he joined NLNG.
The race to succeed Kachikwu, former Executive Vice Chairman and General Counsel of Exxon-Mobil (Africa), began after Buhari sent his name as a ministerial nominee to the Senate.
Kachikwu, who has been cleared, is expected to emerge as the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, a ministry Buhari has announced he will keenly supervise.
Kachikwu beat two others – Inuwa and General Manager, Total E&P Nigeria Limited, Mr. Ahmadu-Kida Musa – to emerge as NNPC GMD in August, replacing Dr. Joseph Dawha.
With the elevation of Kachikwu, Buhari has reportedly added one more name to contest with Inuwa and Musa for the top job.
The trio are all northerners. This is not unexpected as Kachikwu will be a minister of state from Delta State in Southern part of the country.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) has been mandated to review the profiles of the three nominees and make a recommendation to the president.
