British-Nigerian founder of TEXEM UK, Dr Alim Abubakre, a consulting firm in the United Kingdom says the appointment of Olorundare Thomas to the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) Governing Council is strategic and exemplary.
Thomas is Nigeria’s Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
Abubakre, while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said the appointment is also unique in the dynamic landscape of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, where each appointment resonates with significance.
He said the inauguration of the 4th Governing Council of the NCDMB marks a pivotal moment in the industry’s trajectory.
Spearheaded by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri, this council is entrusted with the crucial mandate of fostering indigenous human and infrastructural capacities within the oil and gas sector.
“Mr Thomas’s inclusion underscores his exceptional leadership acumen and unwavering commitment to advancing Nigeria’s economic interests.
“Drawing from his extensive experience and remarkable achievements, Mr. Thomas stands poised to make invaluable contributions to the NCDMB Governing Council.
“His exemplary stewardship at NAICOM, coupled with his visionary approach towards driving transformative initiatives, exemplifies the calibre of leadership essential for steering the NCDMB towards greater heights of success,” Abubakre said.
