President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Ahmed Aminu as Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) for a term of four years in the first instance.

The new Executive Secretary/CEO of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund recently served as the General Manager of the Education and Training Department at the Petroleum Technology Development Fund.

His appointment trails the application for retirement submitted by the outgoing Executive Secretary/CEO, Bello Aliyu Gusau, to proceed on 90-day pre-retirement leave beginning on September 26, 2023.

Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity on Tuesday, noted that Tinubu also directed the new Executive Secretary/CEO of the PTDF, Ahmed Galadima Aminu, to serve in an acting capacity until he commences his fresh term of four years in office, beginning on December 26, 2023.

“The President wishes the new PTDF Executive Secretary/CEO well in the discharge of his duties,” the media aide noted.
