He takes over from Mr Tunji Oyebanji, Chief Executive
Officer, 11 Plc, who has been piloting the affairs of MOMAN for the past two
years.
At a news briefing on Thursday in Lagos, Adeosun commended
his predecessor for his vision, support and leadership of MOMAN.
Adeosun said: “I feel very privileged for the opportunity to
serve as the Chairman of MOMAN in such an exciting time for our industry.
“As a collective, we are at the cusp of new beginnings for
the sector and I envisage that as we move towards less price-controlled
reality, our journey will make for interesting times.”
Earlier, Oyebanji while appraising his tenure, said despite
the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, MOMAN was able to play a key
role in national economic development.
He said the association donated N250 million to the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) initiative to combat the pandemic.
Oyebanji said under his watch, MOMAN embarked on
self-regulation by ensuring that members complied with best safety practices in
their operations through routine inspection visits to terminals and retail
outlets.
He said the group also continued to champion the campaign
for the liberalisation of the downstream petroleum sector which would soon
become a reality following the enactment of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).
On his part, Mr Clement Isong, Executive Secretary and Chief
Executive Officer, MOMAN, thanked Oyebanji for his outstanding contributions to
the association.
He said under his leadership, MOMAN rose to become the
principal industry think-tank repository for best practices and industry
technical know-how.
Isong said Oyebanji successfully led MOMAN’s engagements on
various issues including the PIB, Petroleum Support Fund outstanding subsidy
discussions and margin adjustment with the Petroleum Products Pricing and
Regulatory Agency.
He also tasked the incoming chairman to be fully prepared to
take MOMAN through the challenges and opportunities of the new PIA era.
