Nigeria still retains its seat as the President
of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC), a competent official of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
said on Thursday in Abuja. The official, who preferred anonymity, said the exit
of the former Minister Petroleum Resources, Mrs
Diezani Alison-Madueke, had nothing to do with
the status of Nigeria as the President of the
organisation. The official said the position would be filled after
the appointment of a new Minister of Petroleum by
the president. The official said the former minister was elected at
the 166th General Meeting of the OPEC, not in her
own capacity but to represent Nigeria. Alison-Madueke was elected the president of the
international oil body on Nov. 27, 2014 but started
to function in the office in January 2015. The president of OPEC, according to the official, is
expected to serve for a period of one year and to
preside over the meetings of the conference in the
course of that presidency. OPEC, the source says, has Alternate President who
exercises the responsibilities of the President
during an absence, or when the incumbent s
unable to carry out the responsibilities.

So by implication that means President Buhari doubles as President of OPEC, if he keeps the petroleum portfolio.

ok that's cheering for the new government

Buhari plans to keep the minister of petroleum to himsel which makes him the OPEC president...damn now he can stabilize price of crude oil and make 1 dollar equal 1 naira.

Buhari is not a dullard,i repeat Buhari is not a dullard.

Buhari: I will stabilize oil price
SaTANoids: in what capacity,"Daura President"?
NNPC: as president of OPEC.

He is also coming for corruption.remember if Nigeria doesn't kill corruption,corruption will kill Nigeria(in Buhari's voice).
