The Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, announced the removal of the controversial official on Monday evening.

, ESL Economics and Management Limited, registered in the United Kingdom, while being a public officer in Nigeria in violation of the country’s code of conduct for public officials.Top administration officials said our report angered President Buhari who immediately ordered her removal.

By implication, when one takes public office in Nigeria, they are expected to formally resign from the management or directorship of a private company in which they are involved even if such belongs to them. Several management and accounting filings accessed by PREMIUM TIMES show she is the sole signatory for the company in the UK. Two of such filings were as recent as October and November 2019, years after her appointment to head NBET.

Also, several accounting filings, including yearly balance sheets, including the latest submitted in 2019, were signed by Ms Amobi as the director. However, we can authoritatively report that she remains active running the private firm, ESL, in the UK and the firm is not inactive contrary to her claim.Ms Amobi’s sack on Monday ended a controversial stint at NBET. She was variously accused of abuses, including misuse of funds and maladministration.

The suspension, last December, of Ms Amobi came after PREMIUM TIMES reported how she instigated the arrest and detention for several hours of nine top officials of the bulk trader by the State Security Services . The embattled MD had been accused of abuse and intimidation of employees in recent time, with concerns over workplace safety and teamwork among staff members.
