Indication revealed that the newly confirmed NMDPRA chief, Saidu Aliyu Mohammed, is being linked to the Kaduna refinery’s collapse.
A reliable source revealed to the Northern Star says he was at the helm when the facility suffered a major operational failure, turning it into a “ghost refinery” .
His résumé shows he previously served as Managing Director of the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company and the Nigerian Gas Company, plus board roles in several gas‑related entities.
The appointment has sparked debate, with some analysts warning about potential conflict‑of‑interest and calling for transparency.
At the same time, other reports note the nomination is part of a broader reshuffle after the previous CEOs resigned amid corruption claims.
What do you think—should there be a special review of his past oversight, or is this just political noise.
