Farouk Ahmed has resigned as the Managing Director of the Nigerian Mdstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) amid corruption allegations levelled against him by the chairman of the Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote.
Presidential Spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement in which he also said Gbenga Komolafe has left his position as the Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).
Onanuga said President Bola Tnubu has sent names of two nominees to the Senate for confirmation as their replacement.
