Tinubu also urged the new ECN Chief Executive to make a positive impact as his administration aims to industrialize every part of the country.
“President Tinubu expects the new ECN Chief Executive to make a positive impact on his administration’s intensive push to diversify the nation’s energy sources in a synergized fashion across the government toward the ultimate aim of industrializing every part of the country with every citizen emancipated from the shackles of energy poverty,” the statement read.
Mustapha recently obtained his Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering focusing on Renewable Energy and followed it up with a Post-Doctoral Fellowship as a Research Associate in the School of Engineering at the prestigious University of Manchester.
