The Managing Director of Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company, Marilyn Amobi, has continued to run and direct her private company in the United Kingdom, in what is clearly a contravention of Nigeria's code of conduct for public officers, PREMIUM TIMES can report.
A whistle-blower first alerted PREMIUM TIMES to Ms Amobi's continued running of the UK-based company as well as a version of it in Nigeria.
Against the law
Nigeria's constitution prescribes code of conduct for public officers, including those in publicly-controlled companies, such as NBET.
Ms Amobi was appointed NBET boss in 2016 and re-appointed this May by President Muhammadu Buhari
Nigerian records of ESL seen by PREMIUM TIMES indicate that Ms Amobi remains a director of the company in Nigeria, which she registered alongside a family member, Ifeoma Amobi, in 2012.
'Company inactive'
A representative, whom Ms Amobi asked to speak with PREMIUM TIMES following our text to her, said the "company has not been working," but did not deny NBET's boss active management.
