Olusegun Shogbola, Media Aide to the Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi, issued a statement on the minister’s behalf on Tuesday regarding this development.

 

The statement indicates that the reappointment takes effect on April 1, 2023.

 

Musa was appointed on April 1, 2019, for an initial four-year term.
The Minister stated that Musa’s reappointment for a second term is a result of NOSDRA’s significant accomplishments under his leadership over the past four years.

 

“Among the most notable of these were the digitization of the agency’s records, the review of various forms for oil spill management processes, and the review of the environmental sensitivity index map.

 

The map is used in oil-producing regions to protect the fragile, vulnerable, and sensitive ecosystem of the Niger Delta.

This is part of efforts to demonstrate environmental management transparency in the oil and gas industry, according to the statement.
