Farouk Ahmed has resigned from his position as Managing Director of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority following allegations of corruption made against him by the Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote.
The development was confirmed on Wednesday by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, who disclosed the resignation in a brief statement.
Dangote had earlier accused Ahmed of financial impropriety and formally petitioned the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, requesting a probe into the allegations.
