President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the reappointment of Idris Musa as Director-General of the National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA).

The statement read: “Prominent amongst these were the digitalisation of the agency’s records, review of various forms for oil spills management processes, and the review of environmental sensitivity index map.

“He also carried out many awareness campaigns on the dangers of vandalism of oil facilities.

“These are part of efforts to showcase transparency in environmental management in the oil and gas industry.”
