President Muhammadu Buhari has reversed the dismissal of Marilyn Amobi as the Managing Director of the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company Limited, NBET, by Minister of Power, Mr. Sale Mamman.
Buhari had on Tuesday, overruled the minister on the suspension of Damilola Ogunbiyi as the Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency, REA.
The directive on Amobi is in a memo by the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Boss Mustapha.
The agency has also been moved from the Ministry of Power to the Ministry of Finance.
It will be recalled that in December 2019, the Minister of Power, asked Amobi to step down with immediate effect in order to “restore sanity” in the management of the agency.
The minister also directed the constitution of a 5-man investigative committee to look into the allegations against the MD.
Nnaemeka Ewelukwa, a General Manager of the agency, immediately assumed office as the acting managing director of NBET.
Ewelukwa has been asked to step aside for Amobi to resume her former position.
