They are Bashir Indabawa (North-West), executive commissioner, exploration and acreage management; Enorense Amadasun (South-South); executive commissioner, development and production; and Babajide Fasina (South-West), executive commissioner, economic regulation and strategic planning.
The president also approved the redeployment of Kelechi Ofoegbu (South-East), executive commissioner, corporate services and administration.
The president’s media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mr Ngelale explained that the step aimed to establish a regulatory framework and culture that comprehensively disincentives errant behaviour and incentivises diligence and rules-based business practice across the industry.
