The Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, announced for the first time the intention of the Council of Ministers in his government to dismiss the Chairman of the Directors Board of the National Oil Corporation, Mustafa Sanalla.

The Minister of Oil and Gas in the Government of National Unity, Mohamed Oun, renewed his demand for the Council of Ministers to dismiss Sanallah because of his many legal violations, the latest of which, according to the minister, was “Sanalla withholding daily reports on the country’s production of oil and gas.”

Dbeibeh said that the cabinet in the government agreed on the issue of changing the directors’ board of the National Oil Corporation, and asked the Minister of Oil to submit his nominations to choose a president and new members of the Corporation with experience and competence from those working in the oil sector.
