Outgoing Libyan Prime minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh has admitted that he had made a deal to re-form the board of directors of the National Oil Corporation in exchange for solving the problem of the suspension of oil exports, in agreement with all the members of the new council who hail from different regions such as Zintan, Misrata, the South, Benghazi and the Oil Crescent region.
The other reason for the deal was to liberate the Corporation from individual control that caused the crisis of closing the oil and suspending production and export, stressing that his decree was in the interest of the people, according to the Prime Minister.
Dbeibeh said in a speech addressed directly to the Libyan people, describing it as the only way to convey the truth amid the chaos of rumors, lies and fabricated news, that he did not expect changing a board of directors affiliated with the government, in reference to the former National Oil Corporation board, would contribute to the collapse of the projects of the aspirants in the executive authority and the continuation of those controlling the legislative authority for 10 years.
