Tinubu appoints Abdullahi Mustapha as DG/CEO Energy Commission of Nigeria

Abdullahi Mustapha has been appointed by President Bola Tinubu as the director-general and chief executive officer of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN).

Ajuri Ngelale, the special adviser to the president on media & publicity, disclosed the appointment in a statement on Monday.

Ngelale said Mustapha has significant experience in the energy sector, having worked for more than 10 years in the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).

His career also stretched into the space technology sector.

“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,” Ngelale said.

Mustapha, who recently obtained his doctorate degree in mechanical engineering with a focus on renewable energy, possesses post-doctoral fellowship as a research associate in the school of engineering at the University of Manchester.
