The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) may carry out a major exercise to fill about 19 vacant positions in the company, which may also see the redeployment of several top officials, following the planned shake-up.
Quoting top government sources , an online medium, The Whistler, said that some of the 19 management positions that are yet to be occupied are due to statutory retirements by some employees of the company, starting from December last year.
It stated that for instance, the position of Chief Operating Officer ( Downstream) has been vacant since December 2020 when Mrs. Lawrencia Ndupu statutorily retired from that position. Ndupu, who represented the South-east region at the top management level of the NNPC had yet to be replaced since her retirement.
