President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Dr. Abdullahi Mustapha to serve as the Director-General (DG)/CEO of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN).
The Commission is being superintendent by the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology.
Mustapha, according to a statement signed by Ajuri Ngelale, said the new energy boss, has 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.
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 toward the ultimate aim of industrializing every part of the country with every citizen emancipated from the shackles of energy poverty.
