The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has carried out a major appointment and redeployment of about 109 of its staff to various positions in a decision reportedly aimed at increasing its productivity.

In a podcast to members of Staff on Monday, the Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, said that the changes were informed by the desire to consolidate on the restructuring exercise through realigning jobs with requisite competences and experiences.

Ughamadu was NNPC’s Group General Manager (GGM) Government and Labour Relations before his new appointment. He once served the corporation as its spokesperson during the time of former Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Gaius Obaseki.

According to the document, the changes were effected on Friday, November 11, 2016. All of the Group Executive Directors (GEDs) who were appointed by former GMD and now Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu were not affected.

Garba Deen will now serve as General Manager, Communications Strategy and Policy, while the head of the Human Resource department, Mrs. Adekemi Akitoye Adunni has been replaced by Oyeyemi Ladipo.

As part of the changes, the position of the Company Secretary and Legal Adviser which was occupied by Mr. Chidi Momah was split into two, accommodating Mrs. Hadiza Coomasie as the Legal Adviser while former Momah remains just as the corporation’s Secretary.

The other changes in positions in the corporation were effected across managerial cadre and some subsidiary companies of the NNPC.
