Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)
has appointed Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-
Madueke, as newest president. Diezani was elected at the 166th General Meeting
of the organization held on Thursday in Vienna Austria
Alison-Madueke, who makes history as the first female to be elected into the office, was elected just as members of OPEC began their meeting at the headquarters of the group in in Vienna, Austria.
She succeeds Libyan Vice-Prime Minister for Corporations, Abdourhman Atahar Al-Ahirish. Until her election, Mrs. Alison-Madueke, who would serve for one year, was OPEC’s alternate president.
She is expected to commence work immediately to pilot the affairs of the organization at a time members are coming together to find ways of curbing falling global crude oil prices, which dropped to about $73.07 per barrel on Wednesday.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke was born 1960, the same year OPEC was established. She was formerly Minister of Transport from 2007 to 2008 and subsequently appointed Minister of Mines and Steel from 2008 to 2010. She became Minister of Petroleum Resources in 2010 as Nigeria’s first female Petroleum Minister.
