Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu Appointed Foreign Minister as Saidu Mohammed Dismissed from NMDPRA Leadership

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved major changes in the Federal Executive and key regulatory agencies, appointing Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu as Nigeria’s new Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Her appointment is expected to bring renewed diplomatic energy, leveraging her experience in international relations, public service, and advocacy. Stakeholders say her emergence signals a strategic shift in Nigeria’s foreign policy direction amid evolving global partnerships.

In a related development, Saidu Mohammed has been relieved of his duties as Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). No official reason was immediately provided for his removal, but government sources indicate it is part of a broader restructuring aimed at improving efficiency and accountability in the petroleum regulatory sector.

The Presidency has assured Nigerians that all appointments and dismissals are guided by the need to strengthen governance, enhance service delivery, and reposition key institutions for better performance.

Further announcements on successor appointments at NMDPRA are expected in the coming days.
