“Your appointment is another testament that a goldfish has no hiding place. Your legacies as the most impactful President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF), a true leader in the oil sector both locally and internationally, and an administrator of the highest repute have rightly earned you this higher national assignment. We heartily rejoice with you,” Sanusi wrote.
The NFF further expressed confidence in Kida’s capacity to lead the new board in achieving enhanced operational efficiency, restoring investor confidence, boosting local content, driving economic growth, and advancing gas commercialization and diversification, as envisioned by President Tinubu.
The federation also commended the President for the appointment, lauding Kida’s track record as a strategic manager of people and resources, a champion of excellence, and an innovative leader whose contributions have fostered remarkable growth in every institution he has been a part of.
Kida, a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, will head the newly constituted 11-member NNPCL board, with Mr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari serving as the Group’s Chief Executive Officer.
