Mr. Kachikwu, who was the Executive Vice Chairman and General Counsel
of Exxon-Mobil (Africa), is to take over from Joseph Dawha, who was
appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
A first class graduate of law from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka,
and the Nigerian Law School, Mr. Kachikwu hails from Onicha-Ugbo in
Delta State.
The new NNPC Chief Executive also holds Masters and Doctorate Degrees in Law from the Harvard Law School.
He began his working career with the Nigerian/American Merchant Bank
before moving on to Texaco Nigeria Limited from where he joined
Exxon-Mobil.
A statement by Presidential Spokesman, Femi Adesina, said the
president has also approved the appointment of Umaru Danbatta as the new
Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of the Nigerian
Communications Commission, NCC.
His appointment as Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC is for five years in the first instance.
Mr. Danbatta, who holds a Doctorate Degree in Electronic Engineering,
takes over from Eugene Juwah whose tenure expired on July 29, 2015.
Mr. Juwah had been granted a controversial appointment by the former administration for a second tenure before the expiration of his first
tenure.
Newly appointed NCC Chief Executive holds a
Bachelors Degree in Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications as
well as a Masters Degree in the same field.
He is a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers and has had a
meritorious career in which he rose to become Professor of Electrical

Before his new appointment, Danbatta held top management and
leadership positions at different times including Head of Department,
Dean Of Faculty, Director, Centre for Information Technology, Chairman
of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (Kano Branch), Deputy Vice
Chancellor and Acting Vice Chancellor.
