Thanks for this list.
Now, nitpicking: is the name “Kachukwu” (as written in the text above), or “Kachikwu”, or other?
“N” means the specific northern location couldn’t be confirmed, no?
.
Hi Ifaleke
The NNPC GMD’s name seems to spelt both ways in various articles online. i.e with a ‘u’ or ‘i’. The NNPC website however spells it as Kachikwu.
Yes, you are correct. N refers to the Northern region in general for people we are unable to isolate to a specific sub region.
Incomplete list. DG of AMCON and the 3 EDs, the 4 GEDs engaged at NNPC were also presidential . Head of Nigeria Port Authority is also one. List needs upgrade
