The Chief Operating Officer of Joint Ventures and Business Development at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Roland Ewubare, has resigned from the firm.
Thelagostimes gathered on Friday that the COO resigned abruptly from the corporation on Wednesday morning, after working with the national oil firm for about five years.
Ewubare, who hails from Nigeria’s South-South region, worked as a close adviser to the late Group Managing Director of NNPC, Maikanti Baru.
According to media reports, the former NNPC COO debunked claims that he resigned due to feud with the management of the corporation.
He disclosed that his reason for resigning was to return to his family in the United States.
According to him, he has not been able to visit them due to the pandemic.
