President Bola Tinubu dismissed the entire leadership of Nigeria's state-run oil company Wednesday, naming a former Shell executive to lead the outfit in a sweeping overhaul that one commentator described as "long overdue".
The National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited's group chief executive, Mele Kyari, as well as its chairman Pius Akinyelure -- a close ally of Tinubu -- were among those ousted.
