Early signs suggest that Dr Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu is planning a break with the past. He sacked eight senior managers the day after his appointment. His background is also seen as giving grounds for optimism. One ex-colleague of his said: 'Clearly, he comes with pretty good credentials as the head of the legal counsel for ExxonMobil for 14 years. Some of the structural reforms the NNPC [Nigerian National Petroleum Corp] requires could use a good legal mind.'
President Buhari's view
However, commentators on Nigeria are not convinced yet that the president, Muhammadu Buhari, has committed himself to a new approach, even though he was the one who decided on the appointment of Dr Kachikwu.
General Counsel
Dr Kachikwu has acted as an 'Investment Attorney in USA, as General Counsel with Texaco Upstream and Downstream in Nigeria' and as 'General Counsel for Exxon Mobil Nigeria affiliate Upstream and Downstream Companies in Nigeria', according to detalls about him on a Nigerian energy conferences site.
