 “No electricity, no vote,” South Africans threaten to shun ruling party ANC Residents in Katlehong, a township outside Johannesburg, have resolved to boycott South Africa's upcoming local elections on November 4 due to long-standing failures by authorities to provide basic services like electricity. For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity. Our children cannot progress without electricity." "I was born ANC, but today I do not want anyone to tell me about the ANC because I am suffering," added 57-year-old resid...

 NNPC appoints Andy Odeh, ex-NLNG GM, as spokesperson


The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has appointed Andy Odeh as its chief corporate communications officer.

Adeh’s appointment comes two months after the resignation of Femi Soneye as NNPC’s spokesperson.

In a statement on Tuesday, the national oil company also announced the appointment of Morenike Adewunmi as chief relations officer.

According to the oil firm, Odeh has over three decades of extensive experience in communications and business administration across the oil and gas, advertising, and broadcasting industries.

Before joining the NNPC, he had a 26-year career at Nigeria LNG (NLNG).

“There, he held various leadership roles in Community Relations and Development; Business Logistics and Services; Information Management and Technology; Corporate Communications and Public Affairs; Government Relations and Regulatory Compliance, and most recently, General Manager of External Relations and Sustainable Development,” the statement reads.

“He is recognised for his work on major public relations and advertising campaigns for top brands. At NLNG, he successfully managed the company’s rebranding and implemented one of Nigeria’s best-run micro-credit schemes for host communities.

“Mr. Odeh was also instrumental in instituting the NLNG Prize for Energy Reporting. He is an alumnus of the University of Jos, the University of Lagos, INSEAD Business School, and the Nigeria Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), among others.”

According to the NNPC, Adewunmi is a legal professional with over 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.

“Her expertise is in stakeholder management and advocacy, particularly from her extensive tenure at the Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCIN),” the oil firm said.

“She is highly regarded for her ability to navigate complex external landscapes, ensuring regulatory compliance and protecting the company’s “License to operate”.”

Adewunmi is said to have held key roles at Shell, including regulatory affairs manager, where she managed all mandatory regulatory engagements and permits.

“As the Government Relations Manager, she built and maintained constructive relationships with the Presidency, Ministries, Departments, and Agencies,” the NNPC said.

“Mrs. Adewunmi is known for her strong leadership skills, emotional intelligence, and ability to build robust stakeholder networks.

“She is a subject matter expert on non-technical risks and has a background in law from the Nigerian Law School and Olabisi Onabanjo University.”

The national oil firm said the appointment of Odeh and Adewunmi reflects its dedication to enhancing communication and engagement with stakeholders.
