President Buhari reverses dismissal of NBET MD by Minister of Power

The dismissal of Marilyn Amobi, former managing director of the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company Limited (NBET) by the Minister of Power Saleh Mamman, has been reversed by President Buhari.

Nnaemeka Ewelukwa who assumed office as the acting managing director of NBET was asked to step aside for Amobi to resume her former position in the memo issued by the office of the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).

Amobi was dismissed in December 2019 by Mamman who said he was trying to “restore sanity” in the management of the agency which has now been moved from the ministry of power to the ministry of finance. The Minister also constituted a 5-man investigative committee to look into some allegations against her.
