President Bola Tinubu has constituted a Presidential Petroleum Reform and Value Optimisation Taskforce, appointing prominent banker and entrepreneur Fola Adeola as chairman.
Adeola, best known as the co-founder of Guaranty Trust Bank and founder and chairman of the Fate Foundation, will lead the taskforce alongside seven other members drawn from across Nigeria’s business and energy sectors.
Named to serve on the taskforce are Ademola Adeyemi-Bero, Osagie Okunbor, Abubakar Suleiman, Adaeze Aguele, Farouk Gumel, Phillipa Osakwe-Okoye, and Seyi Bella. Mofoluwasho Fadayomi will serve as secretary to the body.
The taskforce is expected to drive reform efforts in the petroleum sector and identify opportunities to optimise the value of Nigeria’s oil and gas resources.
