Indicted former Lagos State military administrator and Nigeria's Ambassador to South Africa, Mohammed Marwa also lost the coveted position of the Chief of Staff, to which Jonathan appointed Mike Oghiadomhe. He elevated Mr. Ima Niboro to the position of Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, to the President.
The most shocking development was the removal of Shehu Ladan, the recently appointed Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). He has been replaced with Mr. Austin Oniwon Oniwon who hails from Okene in Kogi State; until this appointment, Mr Oniwon was the Group Executive Director, Refineries and Petrochemicals, at the corporation.
According to the press statement from the office of the president, an order for a comprehensive audit of NNPC accounts has also been given. The Finance minister is to engage the services of a world class auditing firm to carry out the audit.
