GNU Prime Minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, accepted the resignation of Farhat Ben Gadara, NOC Chairman of the Board of Directors, on Thursday.
The NOC announced in an official statement that Ben Gadara’s resignation was due to “health reasons” that prevented him from fulfilling his duties and responsibilities.
The Council of Ministers has assigned Masoud Suleiman, a member of the NOC’s Board of Directors, to temporarily manage the affairs of the chairmanship until a forthcoming meeting of the Council of Ministers to restructure a new Board of Directors for the NOC.
In its statement, the NOC called on all employees to continue their efforts to ensure the stability of the oil sector and support the national economy during this critical stage.
