Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, has been
nominated by President Jonathan to become Secretary-General of the
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), when the tenure
of incumbent Abdullah al-Badri of Iraq expires in December 2014,
Sahara Reporters reports.
If the move sails
through, Alison-Madueke will become the first female
Secretary-General of OPEC.
74-year-old al-Badri has been
Secretary-General of OPEC since 2007. He was also Libyan Minister for Oil and
Electricity between 1990 and 2000.
